So let's mark it as __deprecated now, which also has the side effect 
that noone can later whine that removing it might break some shiny 
external modules.

Oh, and if anything starts complaining "But this adds some warnings to 
my kernel build!", he should either first fix the 200 kB (sic) of 
warnings I'm getting in 2.6.19-rc5-mm2 starting at MODPOST or go to hell.
