+What:   PRISM54
+When:   2.6.34
+
+Why:    prism54 FullMAC PCI / Cardbus devices used to be supported only by the
+        prism54 wireless driver. After Intersil stopped selling these
+        devices in preference for the newer more flexible SoftMAC devices
+        a SoftMAC device driver was required and prism54 did not support
+        them. The p54pci driver now exists and has been present in the kernel for
+        a while. This driver supports both SoftMAC devices and FullMAC devices.
+        The main difference between these devices was the amount of memory which
+        could be used for the firmware. The SoftMAC devices support a smaller
+        amount of memory. Because of this the SoftMAC firmware fits into FullMAC
+        devices's memory. p54pci supports not only PCI / Cardbus but also USB
+        and SPI. Since p54pci supports all devices prism54 supports
+        you will have a conflict. I'm not quite sure how distributions are
+        handling this conflict right now. prism54 was kept around due to
+        claims users may experience issues when using the SoftMAC driver.
+        Time has passed users have not reported issues. If you use prism54
+        and for whatever reason you cannot use p54pci please let us know!

-What: libata spindown skipping and warning
-When: Dec 2008
-Why:  Some halt(8) implementations synchronize caches for and spin
-      down libata disks because libata didn't use to spin down disk on
-      system halt (only synchronized caches).
-      Spin down on system halt is now implemented.  sysfs node
-      /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop is present if
-      spin down support is available.
-      Because issuing spin down command to an already spun down disk
-      makes some disks spin up just to spin down again, libata tracks
-      device spindown status to skip the extra spindown command and
-      warn about it.
-      This is to give userspace tools the time to get updated and will
-      be removed after userspace is reasonably updated.

+What:   sound-slot/service-* module aliases and related clutters in
+        sound/sound_core.c
+When:   August 2010
+Why:    OSS sound_core grabs all legacy minors (0-255) of SOUND_MAJOR
+        (14) and requests modules using custom sound-slot/service-*
+        module aliases.  The only benefit of doing this is allowing
+        use of custom module aliases which might as well be considered
+        a bug at this point.  This preemptive claiming prevents
+        alternative OSS implementations.
+
+        Till the feature is removed, the kernel will be requesting
+        both sound-slot/service-* and the standard char-major-* module
+        aliases and allow turning off the pre-claiming selectively via
+        CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and soundcore.preclaim_oss
+        kernel parameter.
+
+        After the transition phase is complete, both the custom module
+        aliases and switches to disable it will go away.  This removal
+        will also allow making ALSA OSS emulation independent of
+        sound_core.  The dependency will be broken then too.
