+What:  Low Performance USB Block driver ("CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB")
+When:  3.6
+Why:   This driver provides support for USB storage devices like "USB
+       sticks". As of now, it is deactivated in Debian, Fedora and
+        Ubuntu. All current users can switch over to usb-storage
+        (CONFIG_USB_STORAGE) which only drawback is the additional SCSI
+        stack.

+What:  kmap_atomic(page, km_type)
+When:  3.5
+Why:   The old kmap_atomic() with two arguments is deprecated, we only

+What:  get_robust_list syscall
+When:  2013
+Why:   There appear to be no production users of the get_robust_list syscall,
+       and it runs the risk of leaking address locations, allowing the bypass
+       of ASLR. It was only ever intended for debugging, so it should be
+       removed.

+What:  setitimer accepts user NULL pointer (value)
+When:  3.6
+Why:   setitimer is not returning -EFAULT if user pointer is NULL. This
