+What:  Video4Linux API 1 ioctls and video_decoder.h from Video devices.
+When:  July 2006
+Why:   V4L1 AP1 was replaced by V4L2 API. during migration from 2.4 to 2.6
+       series. The old API have lots of drawbacks and don't provide enough
+       means to work with all video and audio standards. The newer API is
+       already available on the main drivers and should be used instead.
+       Newer drivers should use v4l_compat_translate_ioctl function to handle
+       old calls, replacing to newer ones.
+       Decoder iocts are using internally to allow video drivers to
+       communicate with video decoders. This should also be improved to allow
+       V4L2 calls being translated into compatible internal ioctls.

+When:  January 2006
+Why:   The 8250 serial driver now has the ability to deal with the differences
+       between the standard 8250 family of UARTs and their slightly strange
+       brother on Alchemy SOCs.  The loss of features is not considered an
+       issue.
