@@ -63,3 +63,51 @@ Why: Outside of Linux, the only implementations of anything even
        people, who might be using implementations that I am not aware
        of, to adjust to this upcoming change.
 Who:   Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@us.ibm.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What:  remove verify_area()
+When:  July 2006
+Files: Various uaccess.h headers.
+Why:   Deprecated and redundant. access_ok() should be used instead.
+Who:   Jesper Juhl <juhl-lkml@dif.dk>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What:  IEEE1394 Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol driver,
+       Connection Management Procedures driver
+When:  November 2005
+Files: drivers/ieee1394/{amdtp,cmp}*
+Why:   These are incomplete, have never worked, and are better implemented
+       in userland via raw1394 (see http://freebob.sourceforge.net/ for
+       example.)
+Who:   Jody McIntyre <scjody@steamballoon.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What:  raw1394: requests of type RAW1394_REQ_ISO_SEND, RAW1394_REQ_ISO_LISTEN
+When:  November 2005
+Why:   Deprecated in favour of the new ioctl-based rawiso interface, which is
+       more efficient.  You should really be using libraw1394 for raw1394
+       access anyway.
+Who:   Jody McIntyre <scjody@steamballoon.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What:  register_serial/unregister_serial
+When:  December 2005
+Why:   This interface does not allow serial ports to be registered against
+       a struct device, and as such does not allow correct power management
+       of such ports.  8250-based ports should use serial8250_register_port
+       and serial8250_unregister_port instead.
+Who:   Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
+
+---------------------------
+
+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.
