+What:   x86 floppy disable_hlt
+When:   2012
+Why:    ancient workaround of dubious utility clutters the

+What:   CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE, and its ability to call APM BIOS in idle
+When:   2012
+Why:    This optional sub-feature of APM is of dubious reliability,
+        and ancient APM laptops are likely better served by calling HLT.
+        Deleting CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE allows x86 to stop exporting
+        the pm_idle function pointer to modules.

+What:   x86_32 "no-hlt" cmdline param
+When:   2012
+Why:    remove a branch from idle path, simplify code used by everybody.
+        This option disabled the use of HLT in idle and machine_halt()
+        for hardware that was flakey 15-years ago.  Today we have
+        "idle=poll" that removed HLT from idle, and so if such a machine
+        is still running the upstream kernel, "idle=poll" is likely sufficient.

-What:   /sys/o2cb symlink
-When:   January 2010
-Why:    /sys/fs/o2cb is the proper location for this information - /sys/o2cb
-        exists as a symlink for backwards compatibility for old versions of
-        ocfs2-tools. 2 years should be sufficient time to phase in new versions
-        which know to look in /sys/fs/o2cb.

-What:   namespace cgroup (ns_cgroup)
-When:   2.6.38
-Why:    The ns_cgroup leads to some problems:
-        * cgroup creation is out-of-control
-        * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
-        * it is not possible to have a single process handling
-        a lot of namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
-        * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup
-
-        The ns_cgroup is replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
-        where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
-        The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
-        the 'tasks' file.
