from a quick google, it appears that those two kernel calls have
been deprecated for a while, but there's still a *lot* of that left in
the kernel and, more to the point, newer drivers coming in that
continue to make those calls. i'm thinking that the
scripts/checkpatch.pl utility should flag those calls in new patch
submissions. or are they not really that deprecated after all?
