Subject: remove the unused exports of sys_open/sys_read
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
These exports (which aren't used and which are in fact dangerous to use
because they pretty much form a security hole to use) have been marked
_UNUSED since 2.6.24 with removal in 2.6.25. This patch is their final
departure from the Linux kernel tree.
