52706ec903 [S390] cio: Deprecate read_dev_chars() and read_conf_data{,_lpm}().
These helper functions are a leftover from 2.4 sync I/O and are a
notorious source for bugs. They lead to device driver specific code
creeping into cio, and some issues can't really be fixed at all.

Device drivers can easily implement those functions themselves in a
more robust manner, so let's get rid of them.

fccb56e4d8 i2c: Kill i2c_adapter.class_dev
Kill i2c_adapter.class_dev. Instead, set the class of i2c_adapter.dev
to i2c_adapter_class, so that a symlink will be created for every
i2c_adapter in /sys/class/i2c-adapter.

The same change must be mirrored to i2c-isa as it duplicates some
of the i2c-core functionalities.

User-space tools and libraries might need some adjustments. In
particular, libsensors from lm_sensors 2.10.3 or later is required for
proper discovery of i2c adapter names after this change.

Nobody ported ffmpeg from dv1394 to rawiso yet, and there is no
justification to remove dv1394 right now.

Nevertheless, a strong deprecation of this ABI makes a lot of sense,
especially as Kristian H's drivers shape up to be an attractive
alternative to the existing ones.  But we don't have a schedule at the

cc2cccaec8 [PATCH] schedule wext/rtnl for removal
Since wext is being replaced as fast as we can (it'll probably stick around
for legacy drivers though) and the wext/netlink stuff was never really
used, this schedules it for removal.

The removal schedule is tight but there are no users of the code, the main
user of the wext user interface are the wireless-tools, they only have an
alpha version using the netlink interface and even that is incomplete.

b119dc3f99 i2c: Migration aids for i2c_adapter.dev removal
Flag i2c_adapter.dev for removal after userspace tools get upgraded, and
include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this:

 - The class device gets the name attribute it should have had.  This
   was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node.
   Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away.

 - Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any
   physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to
   fix this problem earlier.

This is one of a series of patches to help the I2C stack become a better
citizen of the Linux Driver Model world.

   be dropped eventually

0b251df103 [NETFILTER]: Kill ip_queue from feature removal schedule.
We really can't remove ip_queue. Many users use this, there is no binary
compatible interface and even the compat replacement for the originally
statically linked library doesn't work. There is also no real necessity
to remove the code, so the feature-removal-schedule entry should be
removed instead.

13bb7e37e5 [PATCH] sysctl: Undeprecate sys_sysctl
The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a
very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real
users of sys_sysctl.  It was my assumption that because sysctl had been
deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,
so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.

Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed
with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and
work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to
find these last remaining users.

Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the
meantime.

Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl
entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to
fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is
no longer a need to change the binary interface at all.

Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and
the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break
the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with
the removal of sys_sysctl.

So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes
the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code
in by default.

With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a
fast interface for anything that needs it.  Currently sys_sysctl is about
5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.
