@@ -83,3 +99,39 @@ Why: Deprecated in favour of the new ioctl-based rawiso interface, which is
        more efficient.  You should really be using libraw1394 for raw1394

+What:  register_serial/unregister_serial
+When:  September 2005
+Why:   This interface does not allow serial ports to be registered against
+       a struct device, and as such does not allow correct power management
+       of such ports.  8250-based ports should use serial8250_register_port
+       and serial8250_unregister_port, or platform devices instead.

+What:  PCMCIA control ioctl (needed for pcmcia-cs [cardmgr, cardctl])
+When:  November 2005
+Files: drivers/pcmcia/: pcmcia_ioctl.c
+Why:   With the 16-bit PCMCIA subsystem now behaving (almost) like a
+       normal hotpluggable bus, and with it using the default kernel
+       infrastructure (hotplug, driver core, sysfs) keeping the PCMCIA
+       control ioctl needed by cardmgr and cardctl from pcmcia-cs is
+       unnecessary, and makes further cleanups and integration of the
+       PCMCIA subsystem into the Linux kernel device driver model more
+       difficult. The features provided by cardmgr and cardctl are either
+       handled by the kernel itself now or are available in the new
+       pcmciautils package available at
+       http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/
