Subject: [PATCH/RFC 0/1] Delete legacy power trace API

The actual deletion is mind-numbingly simple; and if you go by the
comments in the code, it is well overdue.  However, in discussions
with Frederic, he suggested to me that those comments might have
been overly optimistic, and that there may still be people out
there who are still unknowingly using this dead API.

So, that is the crux of the RFC component -- to check whether the
comments saying "delete by v3.1" can be taken at face value, or
whether they were overly optimistic, and hence this stuff is still
actively used even though it is overdue for deletion.

Thanks,
Paul.
