91 | Why: The ioctls in kernel/power/user.c were marked as deprecated long time | ||

365 | What: KVM paravirt mmu host support | ||
366 | When: January 2011 | ||
367 | Why: 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, | ||

515 | What: pci_scan_bus_parented() | ||
516 | When: 3.5 | ||
517 | Why: 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. | ||
