Paul writes:

Please pull the following to get the removal of the original IBM PC-XT
hard disk driver from the block layer (drivers/block/xd.c).

As near as I can tell, it hasn't seen a run time fix in over a dozen
years, and with drive sizes of 10-20MB, and performance of about 128kB/s
maximum, it is no surprise that it has been completely unused for well
over a decade.

The removal was originally posted[1] well over a month ago, and since
then, there has been nobody objecting to the removal, aside from someone
who had mistakenly confused it with a completely different driver (hd.c)

Very old 8 bit hard disk controllers used in the IBM XT computer
will be supported if you say Y here.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called xd.

It's pretty unlikely that you have one of these: say N.
