Hans Verkuil and you tried to do it, without caring that it would > break userspace, and it was NAKed. My understanding here is that, as the file location will change with this series, your original concern is now void, as userspace will require patches to use the new location. So, if we're willing to do it, let's put this one-driver-only obsolete API on a separate place.
