[PATCH 3/3] Documentation: Feature removal: Add deprecation of some hibernation ioctls

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <hidden>
Date: 2008-02-03 21:59:03

From: Harvey Harrison <redacted>

Let this appear as deprecated in 2.6.25, remove after three
releases (2.6.28).

[rjw: Say that I will be removing the features and give the
reason for the SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE ioctl deprecation.]
