IMHO, this bug should be handled differently: there is no need to remove that
portion of man page. Debian is going to be ported to other kernels, and
that option is likely to work elsewhere.
Indeed it does not work on Linux, so it might be worthy to add this
information on the man page, rather then removing the information about that
option.
