backports: nuke support for kernels < 3.0
It is still needed for some still supported kernel versions.

+Without this patch backports will generate a section mismatch on kernel
+<= 3.3. This results in this error message:
+
+WARNING: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.o(.text+0x157e8): Section mismatch in reference from the function ath5k_init_leds() to the variable .devinit.rodata:ath5k_led_devices
+The function ath5k_init_leds() references
+the variable __devinitconst ath5k_led_devices.
+This is often because ath5k_init_leds lacks a __devinitconst
+annotation or the annotation of ath5k_led_devices is wrong.
