CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT has been deprecated for awhile and
was originally scheduled for removal by 2.6.29.

Removing support for this config option also stops
this deprecation warning message in the kernel log.

All application domains that are supported by the old ieee1394 driver
stack are supported by the newer firewire driver stack too.  There is
now good and extensive experience with the newer stack from deployment
in Fedora since F7 as well as by enthusiast users of other
distributions.

The new drivers have consequently been recommended as the default ones
since 2.6.33, in order to fix some severe usability problems of FireWire
on Linux due to limitations of the old stack.  It is now high time to
announce when the obsolete drivers will be removed.

long overdue, limit it to !SMP and !PREEMPT.

Furthermore, the last legitimate use of the ioctl to be reported
relates to the ARM architecture in 2008.[1] Attempts to resolve
this issue turned out unsuccessful so far.[2] Other usages have only
been reported as hear-say. If there are any legitiate and necessary
use-cases remaining, please speak out before the end of the grace
period until 2.6.3{5,6}(-rc1).

are now all also supported by v4l2 gspca sub drivers.

This patch also adds the v4l2 vc0301 driver for removal as it duplicates
functionality of the gspca_zc3xx driver, zc0301 only supports 2 USB-ID's
(because it only supports a limited set of sensors) wich are also
supported
by the gspca_zc3xx driver (which supports 53 USB-ID's in total).

The reason of removal, "replaced by allowdac and no dac
combination" is incorrect. There is no way to do the same thing
with "allowdac" and "nodac" combination.

The usedac option enables us to stop via_no_dac() setting
forbid_dac to 1. That is, someone who uses VIA bridges can use
DAC with this option even if some of VIA bridges seem to be
broken about DAC.

The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC
PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason
to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore,
and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware.
It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not
have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to
recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users
out there please let us know!

If any OSS support is enabled, regardless of built-in or module,
sound_core claims full OSS major number (that is, the old 0-255
region) to trap open attempts and request sound modules using custom
module aliases.  This feature is redundant as chrdev already has such
mechanism.  This preemptive claiming prevents alternative OSS
implementation.

The custom module aliases are scheduled to be removed and the previous
patch made soundcore emit the standard chrdev aliases too to help
transition.

This patch schedule the feature for removal in a year and makes it
optional so that developers and distros can try new things in the
meantime without rebuilding the kernel.  The pre-claiming can be
turned off by using SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and/or kernel parameter
soundcore.preclaim_oss.

As this allows sound minors to be individually grabbed by other users,
this patch updates sound_insert_unit() such that if registering
individual device region fails, it tries the next available slot.

For details on removal plan, please read the entry added by this patch
in feature-removal-schedule.txt .
