I think this should be added to the deprecated_apis hash instead

our %deprecated_apis = (
	"synchronize_rcu_bh"			=> "synchronize_rcu",
	"synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited"		=> "synchronize_rcu_expedited",
	"call_rcu_bh"				=> "call_rcu",

	"synchronize_sched"			=> "synchronize_rcu",
	"synchronize_sched_expedited"		=> "synchronize_rcu_expedited",
	"call_rcu_sched"			=> "call_rcu",
	"rcu_barrier_sched"			=> "rcu_barrier",
	"get_state_synchronize_sched"		=> "get_state_synchronize_rcu",
	"cond_synchronize_sched"		=> "cond_synchronize_rcu",
