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.

521When: 3.8
522Why: The is_dualspeed file is superseded by maximum_speed in the same
523 directory and is_dualspeed line in device file is superseded by
524 max_speed line in the same file.
525
526 The maximum_speed/max_speed specifies maximum speed supported by UDC.
527 To check if dualspeeed is supported, check if the value is >= 3.
528 Various possible speeds are defined in <linux/usb/ch9.h>.

550What: pci_scan_bus_parented()
551When: 3.5
552Why: The pci_scan_bus_parented() interface creates a new root bus. The
553 bus is created with default resources (ioport_resource and
554 iomem_resource) that are always wrong, so we rely on arch code to
555 correct them later. Callers of pci_scan_bus_parented() should
556 convert to using pci_scan_root_bus() so they can supply a list of
557 bus resources when the bus is created.
