Why: Deprecated by the new (standard) device driver binding model. Use
i2c_driver->probe() and ->remove() instead.

+What: SELinux "compat_net" functionality
+When: 2.6.30 at the earliest
+Why: In 2.6.18 the Secmark concept was introduced to replace the "compat_net"
+ network access control functionality of SELinux. Secmark offers both
+ better performance and greater flexibility than the "compat_net"
+ mechanism. Now that the major Linux distributions have moved to
+ Secmark, it is time to deprecate the older mechanism and start the
+ process of removing the old code.
