It has been impossible to set the option 'atari' of the MSDOS filesystem
for several years.  Since nobody seems to have missed it, let's remove
its remains.

Looks good to me. Thanks.

Geert Uytterhoeven has a patch in his POSTPONED queue that is supposed
to fix Atari FAT.  I can't speak to whether it works or why it's
postponed, but it seems to compile.

I see. Although I don't know the patch, I'd like to add this part to
Geert's patch if possible. And when the patch can be posted, we can
re-add this part again.

Geert, what do you think?

It's in POSTPONED state because nobody speaks up for/against it.
Personally, I don't know how much it is (still) needed...
But a few years ago somebody contacted me that he used it succesfully
on PA-RISC and i386 ;-)

BTW, the patch is
http://linux-m68k-cvs.ubb.ca/~geert/linux-m68k-patches-2.6/POSTPONED/134-atari-fat.diff

Atari people, I think now is the time to let it live or die...

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
