139 | When: April 2007 | ||
140 | Why: These legacy interfaces no longer have any callers in the kernel and | ||
141 | any functionality provided can be provided with filemap_fault. The | ||
142 | removal schedule is short because they are a big maintainence burden | ||
143 | and have some bugs. | ||
