+What: old tuner-3036 i2c driver
+When: 2.6.28
+Why: This driver is for VERY old i2c-over-parallel port teletext receiver
+ boxes. Rather then spending effort on converting this driver to V4L2,
+ and since it is extremely unlikely that anyone still uses one of these
+ devices, it was decided to drop it.

+
+What: V4L2 dpc7146 driver
+When: 2.6.28
+Why: Old driver for the dpc7146 demonstration board that is no longer
+ relevant. The last time this was tested on actual hardware was
+ probably around 2002. Since this is a driver for a demonstration
+ board the decision was made to remove it rather than spending a
+ lot of effort continually updating this driver to stay in sync
+ with the latest internal V4L2 or I2C API.

-What: find_task_by_pid
-When: 2.6.26
-Why: With pid namespaces, calling this funciton will return the
- wrong task when called from inside a namespace.
-
- The best way to save a task pid and find a task by this
- pid later, is to find this task's struct pid pointer (or get
- it directly from the task) and call pid_task() later.
-
- If someone really needs to get a task by its pid_t, then
- he most likely needs the find_task_by_vpid() to get the
- task from the same namespace as the current task is in, but
- this may be not so in general.

When: July 2008
Why: ACPI sysfs conversion should be finished by January 2008.

-What: The arch/ppc and include/asm-ppc directories
-When: Jun 2008
-Why: The arch/powerpc tree is the merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64
- platforms. Currently there are efforts underway to port the remaining
- arch/ppc platforms to the merged tree. New submissions to the arch/ppc
- tree have been frozen with the 2.6.22 kernel release and that tree will
- remain in bug-fix only mode until its scheduled removal. Platforms
- that are not ported by June 2008 will be removed due to the lack of an
- interested maintainer.

When: April 2010

-What: asm/semaphore.h
-When: 2.6.26
-Why: Implementation became generic; users should now include
- linux/semaphore.h instead.
