Sorry, I should have called that out in the PR, but the commit itself
had my rationale for intentionally leaving those in:

    Leave mentions in Documentation (about its deprecation), and in
    checkpatch.pl (to help migrate host-only tools/ usage).

If you feel like that's not right, I can either respin or send a
follow-up patch?
