+What:   GPIO autorequest on gpio_direction_{input,output}() in gpiolib
+When:   February 2010
+Why:    All callers should use explicit gpio_request()/gpio_free().
+        The autorequest mechanism in gpiolib was provided mostly as a
+        migration aid for legacy GPIO interfaces (for SOC based GPIOs).
+        Those users have now largely migrated.  Platforms implementing
+        the GPIO interfaces without using gpiolib will see no changes.

+What:   Ability for non root users to shm_get hugetlb pages based on mlock

+When:   2.6.31
+Why:    Non root users need to be part of /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group or

+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
+        represent a machine's physical PCI slots. The change in semantics
+        had userspace implications, as the hotplug core no longer allowed
+        drivers to create multiple sysfs files per physical slot (required
+        for multi-function devices, e.g.). fakephp was seen as a developer's
+        tool only, and its interface changed. Too late, we learned that
+        there were some users of the fakephp interface.
+
+        In 2.6.30, the original fakephp interface was restored. At the same
+        time, the PCI core gained the ability that fakephp provided, namely
+        function-level hot-remove and hot-add.
+
+        Since the PCI core now provides the same functionality, exposed in:
+
+                /sys/bus/pci/rescan
+                /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove
+                /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan
+
+        there is no functional reason to maintain fakephp as well.
+
+        We will keep the existing module so that 'modprobe fakephp' will
+        present the old /sys/bus/pci/slots/... interface for compatibility,
+        but users are urged to migrate their applications to the API above.
+
+        After a reasonable transition period, we will remove the legacy
+        fakephp interface.
