Please remind me, why didn't we deprecate the linux-user emulation, too?

I forgot to mention I deliberately chose to keep the Altera timer model in the tree, since it looks like a re-usable IP component.
But if it is not used anymore by any machine, this will happily bitrot, won't it? I think I'd rather remove it, too ... maybe in a separate patch, so that in case somebody later needs it again, it can be restored by simply reverting the patch again. Thomas
