---------------------------
+What: drivers depending on OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER
+When: January 2006
+Why: OSS drivers with ALSA replacements
+Who: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
+
+---------------------------

What: RCU API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
When: April 2006
Files: include/linux/rcupdate.h, kernel/rcupdate.c
---------------------------
-What: i2c sysfs name change: in1_ref, vid deprecated in favour of cpu0_vid
-When: November 2005
-Files: drivers/i2c/chips/adm1025.c, drivers/i2c/chips/adm1026.c
-Why: Match the other drivers' name for the same function, duplicate names
- will be available until removal of old names.
-Who: Grant Coady <gcoady@gmail.com>
+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.

+
+---------------------------
+
+What: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(panic_timeout)
+When: April 2006
+Files: kernel/panic.c
+Why: No modular usage in the kernel.
+Who: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(insert_resource)
+When: April 2006
+Files: kernel/resource.c
+Why: No modular usage in the kernel.
+Who: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
---------------------------
to link against API-compatible library on top of libnfnetlink_queue
instead of the current 'libipq'.
Who: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: EXPORT_SYMBOL(lookup_hash)
+When: January 2006
+Why: Too low-level interface. Use lookup_one_len or lookup_create instead.
+Who: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING
+When: June 2006
+Why: Config option is there to see if gcc is good enough. (in january
+ 2006). If it is, the behavior should just be the default. If it's not,
+ the option should just go away entirely.
+Who: Arjan van de Ven
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: START_ARRAY ioctl for md
+When: July 2006
+Files: drivers/md/md.c
+Why: Not reliable by design - can fail when most needed.
+ Alternatives exist
+Who: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: au1x00_uart driver
+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.
+Who: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: Legacy /proc/pci interface (PCI_LEGACY_PROC)
+When: March 2006
+Why: deprecated since 2.5.53 in favor of lspci(8)
+Who: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: pci_module_init(driver)
+When: January 2007
+Why: Is replaced by pci_register_driver(pci_driver).
+Who: Richard Knutsson <ricknu-0@student.ltu.se> and Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: I2C interface of the it87 driver
+When: January 2007
+Why: The ISA interface is faster and should be always available. The I2C
+ probing is also known to cause trouble in at least one case (see
+ bug #5889.)
+Who: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: mount/umount uevents
+When: February 2007
+Why: These events are not correct, and do not properly let userspace know
+ when a file system has been mounted or unmounted. Userspace should
+ poll the /proc/mounts file instead to detect this properly.
