It's been in there for a long time. Theoretically we should mark it deprecated, kill it in six months or so.

So let's zap vmalloc_to_pfn() in 2.6.18. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
