block: remove pktcdvd driver

2025-07-07T13:02:42Z

This driver has long outlived it's utility, and it's broken and unloved. The main use case for this was direct mount with UDF of cd-rw drives that required 32kb packets. It would collect writes into that size and write them out in multiples of that. That's not a common use case anymore, the world has moved on from those kinds of media. To make matters worse, it's actively breaking setups where it's not even required or useful.

Revert "pktcdvd: remove driver."

2023-01-04T21:44:13Z

This reverts commit f40eb99897af665f11858dd7b56edcb62c3f3c67. There are apparently still users out there of this driver. While we'd love to remove it to ease the maintenance burden, let's reinstate it for now until better (userspace) solutions can be developed.

pktcdvd: remove driver.

2022-12-02T19:35:30Z

Way back in 2016 in commit 5a8b187c61e9 ("pktcdvd: mark as unmaintained and deprecated") this driver was marked as "will be removed soon". 5 years seems long enough to have it stick around after that, so finally remove the thing now.

There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script on its output result. Address them, in order to provide a clean output.
