linux-next: manual merge of the net tree with the kvm tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the net tree got a conflict in
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt between commit
f5c9db332c54af513e5bee5cd84f5aadb8d21f55 ("KVM: Plan obsolescence of
kernel allocated slots, paravirt mmu") from the kvm tree and commit
79e95f4717767e9ddc4dbec5d778f0c9970eed34 ("CAPI: Schedule capifs for
removal") from the net tree.

Just overlapping additions. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the
fix as necessary.

----------------------------

+What: KVM memory aliases support
+When: July 2010
+Why: Memory aliasing support is used for speeding up guest vga access
+ through the vga windows.
+
+ Modern userspace no longer uses this feature, so it's just bitrotted
+ code and can be removed with no impact.
+Who: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxx>
+
+----------------------------
+
+What: KVM kernel-allocated memory slots
+When: July 2010
+Why: Since 2.6.25, kvm supports user-allocated memory slots, which are
+ much more flexible than kernel-allocated slots. All current userspace
+ supports the newer interface and this code can be removed with no
+ impact.
+Who: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxx>
+
+----------------------------
+
+What: KVM paravirt mmu host support
+When: January 2011
+Why: The paravirt mmu host support is slower than non-paravirt mmu, both
+ on newer and older hardware. It is already not exposed to the guest,
+ and kept only for live migration purposes.
+Who: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxx>
++
++----------------------------
++
+ What: capifs
+ When: February 2011
+ Files: drivers/isdn/capi/capifs.*
+ Why: udev fully replaces this special file system that only contains CAPI
+ NCCI TTY device nodes. User space (pppdcapiplugin) works without
+ noticing the difference.
