+What:   remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(kernel_thread)
+When:   August 2006
+Files:  arch/*/kernel/*_ksyms.c
+Why:    kernel_thread is a low-level implementation detail.  Drivers should
+        use the <linux/kthread.h> API instead which shields them from
+        implementation details and provides a higherlevel interface that
+        prevents bugs and code duplication

+What:   Usage of invalid timevals in setitimer
+When:   March 2007
+Why:    POSIX requires to validate timevals in the setitimer call. This
+        was never done by Linux. The invalid (e.g. negative timevals) were
+        silently converted to more or less random timeouts and intervals.
+        Until the removal a per boot limited number of warnings is printed
+        and the timevals are sanitized.

+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:   USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
+When:   Febuary 2008
+Files:  include/linux/usb.h, drivers/usb/core/driver.c
+Why:    The USB subsystem has changed a lot over time, and it has been
+        possible to create userspace USB drivers using usbfs/libusb/gadgetfs
+        that operate as fast as the USB bus allows.  Because of this, the USB
+        subsystem will not be allowing closed source kernel drivers to
+        register with it, after this grace period is over.  If anyone needs
+        any help in converting their closed source drivers over to use the
+        userspace filesystems, please contact the
+        linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list, and the developers
+        there will be glad to help you out.
