28What: PCI Name Database (CONFIG_PCI_NAMES)
29When: July 2005
30Why: It bloats the kernel unnecessarily, and is handled by userspace better
31 (pciutils supports it.) Will eliminate the need to try to keep the
32 pci.ids file in sync with the sf.net database all of the time.

105What: register_serial/unregister_serial
106When: September 2005
107Why: This interface does not allow serial ports to be registered against
108 a struct device, and as such does not allow correct power management
109 of such ports. 8250-based ports should use serial8250_register_port
110 and serial8250_unregister_port, or platform devices instead.
