---------------------------
-What: Deprecated snapshot ioctls
-When: 2.6.36
-
-Why: The ioctls in kernel/power/user.c were marked as deprecated long time
- ago. Now they notify users about that so that they need to replace
- their userspace. After some more time, remove them completely.

What: The ieee80211_regdom module parameter
When: March 2010 / desktop catchup
What: Code that is now under CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
(in net/core/net-sysfs.c)
-When: After the only user (hal) has seen a release with the patches
- for enough time, probably some time in 2010.
+When: 3.5
Why: Over 1K .text/.data size reduction, data is available in other
ways (ioctls)
Who: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
----------------------------
-What: KVM paravirt mmu host support
-When: January 2011
-Why: The paravirt mmu host support is slower than non-paravirt mmu, both
- on newer and older hardware. It is already not exposed to the guest,
- and kept only for live migration purposes.

What: iwlwifi 50XX module parameters
When: 3.0
Why: The "..50" modules parameters were used to configure 5000 series and
----------------------------
-What: Support for driver specific ioctls in the pwc driver (everything
- defined in media/pwc-ioctl.h)
-When: 3.3
-Why: This stems from the v4l1 era, with v4l2 everything can be done with
- standardized v4l2 API calls
-Who: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
-
-----------------------------
-
-What: Driver specific sysfs API in the pwc driver
-When: 3.3
-Why: Setting pan/tilt should be done with v4l2 controls, like with other
- cams. The button is available as a standard input device
-Who: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
-
-----------------------------
-
-What: Driver specific use of pixfmt.priv in the pwc driver
-When: 3.3
-Why: The .priv field never was intended for this, setting a framerate is
- support using the standardized S_PARM ioctl
-Who: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
-
-----------------------------
-
-What: Software emulation of arbritary resolutions in the pwc driver
-When: 3.3
-Why: The pwc driver claims to support any resolution between 160x120
- and 640x480, but emulates this by simply drawing a black border
- around the image. Userspace can draw its own black border if it
- really wants one.
-Who: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
-
-----------------------------
-
-What: For VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY the type field must match the device node's type.
- If not, return -EINVAL.
-When: 3.2
-Why: It makes no sense to switch the tuner to radio mode by calling
- VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY on a video node, or to switch the tuner to tv mode by
- calling VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY on a radio node. This is the first step of a
- move to more consistent handling of tv and radio tuners.
-Who: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com>
-
-----------------------------
-
What: Opening a radio device node will no longer automatically switch the
tuner mode from tv to radio.
When: 3.3

+---------------------------
+
+What: /sys/devices/platform/_UDC_/udc/_UDC_/is_dualspeed file and
+ is_dualspeed line in /sys/devices/platform/ci13xxx_*/udc/device file.
+When: 3.8
+Why: The is_dualspeed file is superseded by maximum_speed in the same
+ directory and is_dualspeed line in device file is superseded by
+ max_speed line in the same file.
+
+ The maximum_speed/max_speed specifies maximum speed supported by UDC.
+ To check if dualspeeed is supported, check if the value is >= 3.
+ Various possible speeds are defined in <linux/usb/ch9.h>.
+Who: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.com>
+
----------------------------
What: The XFS nodelaylog mount option
Why: The iwlagn module has been renamed iwlwifi. The alias will be around
for backward compatibility for several cycles and then dropped.
Who: Don Fry <donald.h.fry@intel.com>
+
+----------------------------
+
+What: pci_scan_bus_parented()
+When: 3.5
+Why: The pci_scan_bus_parented() interface creates a new root bus. The
+ bus is created with default resources (ioport_resource and
+ iomem_resource) that are always wrong, so we rely on arch code to
+ correct them later. Callers of pci_scan_bus_parented() should
+ convert to using pci_scan_root_bus() so they can supply a list of
+ bus resources when the bus is created.
+Who: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>
