-What:   remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(tasklist_lock)
-When:   August 2006
-Files:  kernel/fork.c
-Why:    tasklist_lock protects the kernel internal task list.  Modules have
-        no business looking at it, and all instances in drivers have been due
-        to use of too-lowlevel APIs.  Having this symbol exported prevents
-        moving to more scalable locking schemes for the task list.

 What:   mount/umount uevents
 When:   February 2007
 Why:    These events are not correct, and do not properly let userspace know
