Maybe. can we do something to at least try to avoid other (new) architectures picking up these syscalls even when we can't fix the existing ones? Or can we do like a once-per-boot printk to mark then deprecated now so that eventually we can remove them, and that application writers realize they are deprecated and wont use them for new code ? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
