-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: eepro100 network driver
When: January 2007
Why: replaced by the e100 driver
and slightly hurts runtime performance. Bugfixes for the old firmware
are not provided by Broadcom anymore.
Who: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de>

+---------------------------

+What: Solaris/SunOS syscall and binary support on Sparc
+When: 2.6.26
+Why: Largely unmaintained and almost entirely unused. File system
+ layering used to divert library and dynamic linker searches to
+ /usr/gnemul is extremely buggy and unfixable. Making it work
+ is largely pointless as without a lot of work only the most
+ trivial of Solaris binaries can work with the emulation code.
+Who: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: init_mm export
+When: 2.6.26
+Why: Not used in-tree. The current out-of-tree users used it to
+ work around problems in the CPA code which should be resolved
+ by now. One usecase was described to provide verification code
+ of the CPA operation. That's a good idea in general, but such
+ code / infrastructure should be in the kernel and not in some
+ out-of-tree driver.
