 Why:    The old kmap_atomic() with two arguments is deprecated, we only
         keep it for backward compatibility for few cycles and then drop it.

+What:   get_robust_list syscall
+When:   2013
+Why:    There appear to be no production users of the get_robust_list syscall,
+        and it runs the risk of leaking address locations, allowing the bypass
+        of ASLR. It was only ever intended for debugging, so it should be
+        removed.
