Why: Deprecated by the new (standard) device driver binding model. Use
i2c_driver->probe() and ->remove() instead.
Who: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: SELinux "compat_net" functionality
+When: 2.6.30 at the earliest
+Why: In 2.6.18 the Secmark concept was introduced to replace the "compat_net"
+ network access control functionality of SELinux. Secmark offers both
+ better performance and greater flexibility than the "compat_net"
+ mechanism. Now that the major Linux distributions have moved to
+ Secmark, it is time to deprecate the older mechanism and start the
+ process of removing the old code.

If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer 1.
-config SECURITY_SELINUX_ENABLE_SECMARK_DEFAULT
- bool "NSA SELinux enable new secmark network controls by default"
- depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
- default n
- help
- This option determines whether the new secmark-based network
- controls will be enabled by default. If not, the old internal
- per-packet controls will be enabled by default, preserving
- old behavior.
-
- If you enable the new controls, you will need updated
- SELinux userspace libraries, tools and policy. Typically,
- your distribution will provide these and enable the new controls
- in the kernel they also distribute.
-
- Note that this option can be overridden at boot with the
- selinux_compat_net parameter, and after boot via
- /selinux/compat_net. See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
- for details on this parameter.
-
- If you enable the new network controls, you will likely
- also require the SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets, as
- well as any conntrack helpers for protocols which you
- wish to control.
-
- If you are unsure what to do here, select N.
