This is incorrect use of the word "deprecated"... it's *already*
deprecated (a word which pretty much means the opposite of "recommended".)

As far as "default n" is concerned... this is usually not necessary; "n"
is the default unless anything else is specified.
How about this ?  Thanks.
Looks good to me (missing Signed-off-by).  I think it's also useful
to generate some runtime noise saying it's a deprecated option.

Even something as simple as:

-	pv_info.name = "vmi"
+	pv_info.name = "vmi [deprecated]";
