-What: /sys/devices/.../power/state
- dev->power.power_state
- dpm_runtime_{suspend,resume)()
+What: dev->power.power_state
When: July 2007
Why: Broken design for runtime control over driver power states, confusing
driver-internal runtime power management with: mechanisms to support
---------------------------
+What: vm_ops.nopage
+When: Soon, provided in-kernel callers have been converted
+Why: This interface is replaced by vm_ops.fault, but it has been around
+ forever, is used by a lot of drivers, and doesn't cost much to
+ maintain.
+Who: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
+
+---------------------------
+
What: Interrupt only SA_* flags
When: September 2007
Why: The interrupt related SA_* flags are replaced by IRQF_* to move them
Who: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
---------------------------
+
+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.

+
+What: mthca driver's MSI support
+When: January 2008
+Files: drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca/*.[ch]
+Why: All mthca hardware also supports MSI-X, which provides
+ strictly more functionality than MSI. So there is no point in
+ having both MSI-X and MSI support in the driver.
