-What: fakephp and associated sysfs files in /sys/bus/pci/slots/
-When: 2011
-Why: In 2.6.27, the semantics of /sys/bus/pci/slots was redefined to
- represent a machine's physical PCI slots. The change in semantics
- had userspace implications, as the hotplug core no longer allowed
- drivers to create multiple sysfs files per physical slot (required
- for multi-function devices, e.g.). fakephp was seen as a developer's
- tool only, and its interface changed. Too late, we learned that
- there were some users of the fakephp interface.
-
- In 2.6.30, the original fakephp interface was restored. At the same
- time, the PCI core gained the ability that fakephp provided, namely
- function-level hot-remove and hot-add.
-
- Since the PCI core now provides the same functionality, exposed in:
-
- /sys/bus/pci/rescan
- /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove
- /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan
-
- there is no functional reason to maintain fakephp as well.
-
- We will keep the existing module so that 'modprobe fakephp' will
- present the old /sys/bus/pci/slots/... interface for compatibility,
- but users are urged to migrate their applications to the API above.
-
- After a reasonable transition period, we will remove the legacy
- fakephp interface.

What: CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT
When: 2.6.33
Why: Should be implemented in userspace, policy daemon.
