Hi Alexandru,
You're probably not looking far enough back in the change history to
see most of the dropped hardware:
http://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC1AndLPIC2SummaryVersion2To3
They still need to know about the interrupts, ioports, etc files in
/proc but they aren't questioned on non-Linux specific areas like
"What is an interrupt?"
As for how much about these topics to include in the course, I think
it really depends on the background you expect from the students. Are
they new to Linux or new to computers?
PS - You'll get more, technical responses on the lpi-examdev list:
