compatibility as far as possible. Putting a note in the code is good that
down the line, get rid of this code.

Perhaps scheduling it as an entry in 

    Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt

just so people (distros) can plan around it?

Perfect. In kexec-tools it can go in doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt.

It doesn't really need to go in the kernel source as the kernel has
already changed and besides, we were adding a feature to the kernel, not
removing one.  

At this stage, it's just a kexec tools feature removal.

If someone wants to make a patch for kexec-tools I'm happy
to put it into kexec-tools-testing. Though I am a little dubious
about the possibilities of vendors taking any notice of it.
