Hello, File include/linux/sys.h has a comment stating that the "file is no longer used or needed", but it is still included in multiple places under several architectures. It does contain bunch of #define's but those have been #ifdef'd out, and grepping did not show any uses of those #define's in the source tree outside this file. The uses of the file seem partially be accidental remains of some old use, but almost all are in architecture specific code with only one outside in file net/core/pktgen.c. So this patchset has been divided to 14 parts, addressing 12 architectures (c6x, cris, frv, h8300, microblaze, mips, mn10300, parisc, powerpc, sh, unicore32 and x86) and the outlier in net and then the final patch removes the file itself. All patches can be applied invidually with the obvious exception of the last one which actually removes the file and should be last.
