-What: obsolete generic irq defines and typedefs
-When: 2.6.30
-Why: The defines and typedefs (hw_interrupt_type, no_irq_type, irq_desc_t)
- have been kept around for migration reasons. After more than two years
- it's time to remove them finally

What: fakephp and associated sysfs files in /sys/bus/pci/slots/
When: 2011
Why: In 2.6.27, the semantics of /sys/bus/pci/slots was redefined to
but the old version has been kept around for easier testing. Note this
doesn't impact the old P5 and WinChip machine check handlers.

+ ----------------------------
+
+ What: lock_policy_rwsem_* and unlock_policy_rwsem_* will not be
+ exported interface anymore.
+ When: 2.6.33
+ Why: cpu_policy_rwsem has a new cleaner definition making it local to
+ cpufreq core and contained inside cpufreq.c. Other dependent
+ drivers should not use it in order to safely avoid lockdep issues.
