+What:		devfs
+Date:		July 2005 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.18
+Contact:	Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
+Description:
+	devfs has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable
+	races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is
+	against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
+	The files fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h were removed,
+	along with the assorted devfs function calls throughout the
+	kernel tree.

+What:		dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
+Date:		May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
+Contact:	linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
+Description:
+	/dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
+	controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
+	could be received by read() or transmitted by write().  A few
+	ioctl()s allowed limited control.
+	This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
+	libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
+	transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.

+Contact:	Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
+Description:

+What:		tcp_dma_copybreak sysctl
+Date:		Removed in kernel v3.13
+Contact:	Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
+Description:
+	Formerly the lower limit, in bytes, of the size of socket reads
+	that will be offloaded to a DMA copy engine.  Removed due to
+	coherency issues of the cpu potentially touching the buffers
+	while dma is in flight.

+Description:	This is a symlink: /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb. The symlink is

+		in /sys/fs/o2cb are sufficiently prevalent. Don't code new

+What:		raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support" for FireWire)
+Date:		May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
+Contact:	linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
+Description:
+	/dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
+	access to FireWire buses.  Its major drawbacks were its inability
+	to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
+	of abstraction that required userspace clients to duplicate much
+	of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
+	Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
+	firewire-core.

+Date:		May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
+Contact:	linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
+Description:
+	/dev/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
+	controller, which were used for isochronous I/O.  It was added as an
+	alternative to raw1394's isochronous I/O functionality which had
+	performance issues in its first generation.  Any video1394 user had
+	to use raw1394 + libraw1394 too because video1394 did not provide
+	asynchronous I/O for device discovery and configuration.
+	Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
+	firewire-core.
