+What: print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
+When: October 2009
+Why:  The %pF vsprintf format provides the same functionality in a
+      simpler way.  print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is deprecated but
+      still present to give out-of-tree modules time to change.

 What:	/sys/o2cb symlink
 When:	January 2010
