Subject[2.6 patch] mark virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt as __deprecated on i386
virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt are long deprecated, mark them as __deprecated 
on i386.

Without such warnings people will never update their code and fix
the errors in PPC64 builds.

And yes, some of the drivers affected are maintained.

As an example, the only usage of bus_to_virt() in the infiniband code
was added in 2.6.17-rc1 (sic).

This patch increases the number of warnings shown during builds, but it
seems worth including it at least in -mm for making people aware of this
issue.
