I don't like the idea of removing this section entirely.  It will leave 
people wondering what happened to their driver.

Instead, for the next few kernel releases, how about leaving this
section in place and causing it to select USB_OHCI_HCD_PLATFORM?  Maybe 
also add a line to the help section explaining that from now on, this 
driver has been replaced by the generic OHCI platform driver.

And likewise for the SSB EHCI driver, of course.
