 ---------------------------
 
-What:	Usage of invalid timevals in setitimer
-When:	March 2007
-Why:	POSIX requires to validate timevals in the setitimer call. This
-	was never done by Linux. The invalid (e.g. negative timevals) were
-	silently converted to more or less random timeouts and intervals.
-	Until the removal a per boot limited number of warnings is printed
-	and the timevals are sanitized.

 What:	Unused EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL exports
 	(temporary transition config option provided until then)
 	The transition config option will also be removed at the same time.
