against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
Who: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
+---------------------------
+
+What: ACPI S4bios support
+When: May 2005
+Why: Noone uses it, and it probably does not work, anyway. swsusp is
+ faster, more reliable, and people are actually using it.
+Who: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: PCI Name Database (CONFIG_PCI_NAMES)
+When: July 2005
+Why: It bloats the kernel unnecessarily, and is handled by userspace better
+ (pciutils supports it.) Will eliminate the need to try to keep the
+ pci.ids file in sync with the sf.net database all of the time.
+Who: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: io_remap_page_range() (macro or function)
+When: September 2005
+Why: Replaced by io_remap_pfn_range() which allows more memory space
+ addressabilty (by using a pfn) and supports sparc & sparc64
+ iospace as part of the pfn.
+Who: Randy Dunlap <rddunlap@osdl.org>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: register_ioctl32_conversion() / unregister_ioctl32_conversion()
+When: April 2005
+Why: Replaced by ->compat_ioctl in file_operations and other method
+ vecors.
+Who: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>, Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: RCU API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
+When: April 2006
+Files: include/linux/rcupdate.h, kernel/rcupdate.c
+Why: Outside of Linux, the only implementations of anything even
+ vaguely resembling RCU that I am aware of are in DYNIX/ptx,
+ VM/XA, Tornado, and K42. I do not expect anyone to port binary
+ drivers or kernel modules from any of these, since the first two
+ are owned by IBM and the last two are open-source research OSes.
+ So these will move to GPL after a grace period to allow
+ people, who might be using implementations that I am not aware
+ of, to adjust to this upcoming change.
+Who: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@us.ibm.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: IEEE1394 Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol driver,
+ Connection Management Procedures driver
+When: November 2005
+Files: drivers/ieee1394/{amdtp,cmp}*
+Why: These are incomplete, have never worked, and are better implemented
+ in userland via raw1394 (see http://freebob.sourceforge.net/ for
+ example.)
+Who: Jody McIntyre <scjody@steamballoon.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: raw1394: requests of type RAW1394_REQ_ISO_SEND, RAW1394_REQ_ISO_LISTEN
+When: November 2005
+Why: Deprecated in favour of the new ioctl-based rawiso interface, which is
+ more efficient. You should really be using libraw1394 for raw1394
+ access anyway.
