inputs. This framework was never widely used, and most attempts to
use it were broken. Drivers should instead be exposing domain-specific
interfaces either to kernel or to userspace.

-What: lock_policy_rwsem_* and unlock_policy_rwsem_* will not be
- exported interface anymore.
-When: 2.6.33
-Why: cpu_policy_rwsem has a new cleaner definition making it local to
- cpufreq core and contained inside cpufreq.c. Other dependent
- drivers should not use it in order to safely avoid lockdep issues.

-What: usbvideo quickcam_messenger driver
-When: 2.6.35
-Files: drivers/media/video/usbvideo/quickcam_messenger.[ch]
-Why: obsolete v4l1 driver replaced by gspca_stv06xx

-What: ovcamchip sensor framework
-When: 2.6.35
-Files: drivers/media/video/ovcamchip/*
-Why: Only used by obsoleted v4l1 drivers

-
-What: zc0301 v4l driver
-When: 2.6.35
-Files: drivers/media/video/zc0301/*
-Why: Duplicate functionality with the gspca_zc3xx driver, zc0301 only
- supports 2 USB-ID's (because it only supports a limited set of
- sensors) wich are also supported by the gspca_zc3xx driver
- (which supports 53 USB-ID's in total)

What: sysfs-class-rfkill state file
When: Feb 2014

----------------------------
-What: KVM memory aliases support
-When: July 2010
-Why: Memory aliasing support is used for speeding up guest vga access
- through the vga windows.
-
- Modern userspace no longer uses this feature, so it's just bitrotted
- code and can be removed with no impact.

What: xtime, wall_to_monotonic
When: 2.6.36+
Files: kernel/time/timekeeping.c include/linux/time.h
----------------------------
-What: KVM kernel-allocated memory slots
-When: July 2010
-Why: Since 2.6.25, kvm supports user-allocated memory slots, which are
- much more flexible than kernel-allocated slots. All current userspace
- supports the newer interface and this code can be removed with no
- impact.

-What: "acpi=ht" boot option
-When: 2.6.35
-Why: Useful in 2003, implementation is a hack.
- Generally invoked by accident today.
