60What: sbp2: module parameter "force_inquiry_hack"
61When: July 2006
62Why: Superceded by parameter "workarounds". Both parameters are meant to be
63 used ad-hoc and for single devices only, i.e. not in modprobe.conf,
64 therefore the impact of this feature replacement should be low.

240What: find_trylock_page
241When: January 2007
242Why: The interface no longer has any callers left in the kernel. It
243 is an odd interface (compared with other find_*_page functions), in
244 that it does not take a refcount to the page, only the page lock.
245 It should be replaced with find_get_page or find_lock_page if possible.
246 This feature removal can be reevaluated if users of the interface
247 cannot cleanly use something else.
