It was introduced to the tree in r169320 and r169321 in May 2007.
It never got much use and never became a kernel default. The code
duplicates the default path quite a bit, with slight modifications. Just
yank out the cruft. Whatever goals were being aimed for can probably be met
within the existing framework, without a flag day option.
Mostly mechanical change: 'unifdef -m -UINTR_FILTER'.
