Linux 2.4.21, include/asm/io.h:51 says "Will be removed in 2.4". Its
there in 2.5.74 as well.
I can understand why it would be in 2.5; the comment should say 2.6,
though.

Actually there is a larger issue too:
I would love it if someone (kernel janitors?) went through the kernel
code and dug out all the comments like this. "should be gone by 1.3" :)
"should be removed in 2.5". etc. This should be a pretty easy, but
time consuming job that even newbies could sink their teeth into.
Then we can go through the list and kill the issues, or the comments.

this file has 85 lines for kernel 2.5.74
removed some occurence of firmware foo 1.1
still 63 occurences of this sort of comment
and attached the file for further work :)
