| |
Add note about the soon-to-come removal of verify_area() to Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt, so it can be clearly deprecated *and* documented to go away real-soon-now in 2.6.12 (if there's time to push it to Linus before 2.6.12 hits).
This was already in -mm earlier, but some duplicate patch submission (error on my part) caused it to be messed up and then removed.
