A patch for removing the comempci code is below.

It's a bit suspicious that asm/elia.h is now removed since comempci.c  
was the only user. What's the sttus of the eLIA platform?

Only ever a handful where made, and that was in 1999.
I doubt anyone could ever use the PCI interface on it
in any useful way.

So I can send a patch to remove the platform?

But COMEMPCI fails with a different error - this init/main.o build 
error is present for CONFIG_PCI=y, CONFIG_COMEMPCI=n, so the dependency 
of PCI on BROKEN is still required (unless it gets fixed).

Unless I am mistaken there is now no need for the CONFIG_PCI option
if selecting m68knommu. The only m68knommu platforms that had PCI
as far as I know where those that use the comempci part.

That implies I can also kill the m68k PCI code since m68knommu will 
never use it?

Sure. If the FreeScale guys ever forward-port their ColdFire/MMU code to
current mainline, we can readd it.
