        probing is also known to cause trouble in at least one case (see

+What:  mount/umount uevents
+When:  February 2007
+Why:   These events are not correct, and do not properly let userspace know
+       when a file system has been mounted or unmounted.  Userspace should
+       poll the /proc/mounts file instead to detect this properly.

+What:  Support for NEC DDB5074 and DDB5476 evaluation boards.
+When:  June 2006
+Why:   Board specific code doesn't build anymore since ~2.6.0 and no
+       users have complained indicating there is no more need for these
+       boards.  This should really be considered a last call.

+What:  USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
+When:  Febuary 2008
+Files: include/linux/usb.h, drivers/usb/core/driver.c
+Why:   The USB subsystem has changed a lot over time, and it has been
+       possible to create userspace USB drivers using usbfs/libusb/gadgetfs
+       that operate as fast as the USB bus allows.  Because of this, the USB
+       subsystem will not be allowing closed source kernel drivers to
+       register with it, after this grace period is over.  If anyone needs
+       any help in converting their closed source drivers over to use the
+       userspace filesystems, please contact the
+       linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list, and the developers
+       there will be glad to help you out.
