        but the old version has been kept around for easier testing. Note this
        doesn't impact the old P5 and WinChip machine check handlers.

+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:  sound-slot/service-* module aliases and related clutters in
+       sound/sound_core.c
+When:  August 2010
+Why:   OSS sound_core grabs all legacy minors (0-255) of SOUND_MAJOR
+       (14) and requests modules using custom sound-slot/service-*
+       module aliases.  The only benefit of doing this is allowing
+       use of custom module aliases which might as well be considered
+       a bug at this point.  This preemptive claiming prevents
+       alternative OSS implementations.
+
+       Till the feature is removed, the kernel will be requesting
+       both sound-slot/service-* and the standard char-major-* module
+       aliases and allow turning off the pre-claiming selectively via
+       CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and soundcore.preclaim_oss
+       kernel parameter.
+
+       After the transition phase is complete, both the custom module
+       aliases and switches to disable it will go away.  This removal
+       will also allow making ALSA OSS emulation independent of
+       sound_core.  The dependency will be broken then too.
