According to the X.25 documentation, there was a plan to implement
X.25-over-802.2-LLC. It never finished but left various code stubs in the
X.25 code. At this time it is unlikely that it would ever finish so it
may be better to remove those code stubs.
Also change the documentation to make it clear that this is not a ongoing
plan anymore. Change words like "will" to "could", "would", etc.

Just when you thought that it could not become more confusing, another
option appeared, XOT. This allows X.25 Packet Layer frames to operate over
