-What:  sbp2: module parameter "force_inquiry_hack"
-When:  July 2006
-Why:   Superceded by parameter "workarounds". Both parameters are meant to be
-       used ad-hoc and for single devices only, i.e. not in modprobe.conf,
-       therefore the impact of this feature replacement should be low.

-What:  remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(tasklist_lock)
-When:  August 2006
-Files: kernel/fork.c
-Why:   tasklist_lock protects the kernel internal task list.  Modules have
-       no business looking at it, and all instances in drivers have been due
-       to use of too-lowlevel APIs.  Having this symbol exported prevents
-       moving to more scalable locking schemes for the task list.

+When:  September 2006
+Why:   These drivers never compiled since they were added to the kernel

+       someone shows interest in the drivers, fixes them and takes over
+       maintenance.

+
+What:  Bridge netfilter deferred IPv4/IPv6 output hook calling
+When:  January 2007
+Why:   The deferred output hooks are a layering violation causing unusual
+       and broken behaviour on bridge devices. Examples of things they
+       break include QoS classifation using the MARK or CLASSIFY targets,
+       the IPsec policy match and connection tracking with VLANs on a
+       bridge. Their only use is to enable bridge output port filtering
+       within iptables with the physdev match, which can also be done by
+       combining iptables and ebtables using netfilter marks. Until it
+       will get removed the hook deferral is disabled by default and is
+       only enabled when needed.
