89When: 2.6.36
90
91Why: The ioctls in kernel/power/user.c were marked as deprecated long time
92 ago. Now they notify users about that so that they need to replace
93 their userspace. After some more time, remove them completely.

366When: January 2011
367Why: The paravirt mmu host support is slower than non-paravirt mmu, both
368 on newer and older hardware. It is already not exposed to the guest,
369 and kept only for live migration purposes.

486When: 3.8
487Why: The is_dualspeed file is superseded by maximum_speed in the same
488 directory and is_dualspeed line in device file is superseded by
489 max_speed line in the same file.

491 The maximum_speed/max_speed specifies maximum speed supported by UDC.
492 To check if dualspeeed is supported, check if the value is >= 3.
493 Various possible speeds are defined in <linux/usb/ch9.h>.

515What: pci_scan_bus_parented()
516When: 3.5
517Why: The pci_scan_bus_parented() interface creates a new root bus. The
518 bus is created with default resources (ioport_resource and
519 iomem_resource) that are always wrong, so we rely on arch code to
520 correct them later. Callers of pci_scan_bus_parented() should
521 convert to using pci_scan_root_bus() so they can supply a list of
522 bus resources when the bus is created.
