+What: /proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads
+When: 2012

What: CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE, and its ability to call APM BIOS in idle

---------------------------
-What: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
-Check: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
-When: July 2009
-
-Why: Many of IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy
- sources in the kernel's current entropy model. To resolve this, every
- input point to the kernel's entropy pool needs to better document the
- type of entropy source it actually is. This will be replaced with
- additional add_*_randomness functions in drivers/char/random.c

+What: OMAP private DMA implementation
+When: 2013
+Why: We have a DMA engine implementation; all users should be updated
+ to use this rather than persisting with the old APIs. The old APIs
+ block merging the old DMA engine implementation into the DMA
+ engine driver.
