Hi.
Do you think, that this would be useful in the kernel tree?
I have an idea to mark old drivers, which should I or somebody rewrite.
For example drivers/isdn/hisax/gazel.c.

What's wrong with __deprecated ?


Nothing, but this marks entire driver, not a function, that it uses.
I.e. gazel doesn't emit any warning or so, I think; so for these cases.
