Subject: [02/14] Remove birecs code
Date: Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:03:32 -0000
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
X-Patchwork-Id: 58325
Message-Id: <20100709050341.537772607@samba.org>
To: yaboot-devel@lists.ozlabs.org

The birecs code is deprecated and writes garbage into kernel images.
I had a painful time rediscovering this bug in mainline :) Remove it.
