These days we normally don't deprecate things, just remove them.  But we
do that *after* fixing up all the usages in the tree, please.

OK, should I remove __deprecated or revert above patch?
I pinged such users but no response. I can just rewrite it but not sure they can reply.

Ideal would be to just fix all these places: convert code where the facility 
appears to be actively used, remove code where it looks unused. If maintainers 
don't reply, I can apply them to a separate branch in -tip.

For example I'm pretty sure we can just remove the jprobes usage in SCTP.

Thanks,
