The kernel-mode PPPoE relay feature and its two associated ioctls (PPPOEIOCSFWD and PPPOEIOCDFWD) are not used by any existing userspace PPPoE implementations. The most commonly-used package, RP-PPPoE [1], handles the relaying entirely in userspace. This legacy code has remained in the driver since its introduction in kernel 2.3.99-pre7 for over two decades, but has served no practical purpose. Remove the unused relay code.
