yes, that was something I didn't want to include into this patch.
I agree that some sort of a warning should go into the logs. do

there as well.

didn't know about that. ok, will send "deprecate old attrs" patch that will
add deprecated attrs to Documentation/ABI/obsolete/ and add pr_warn_once().

will send a trivial patch later.
