But that's going to warn when the deprecated function itself is compiled, isn't it? If so, that's backwards. We want to warn when the deprecated function is _used_, so people go fix up their code, and we can then remove the deprecated function. (The intermodule_register and pm_register stuff has been hanging around for so long that one wonders if we need sterner stimuli, not lesser). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
