Subject: [patch 3/3] x86: deprecate change_page_attr() for drivers

Subject: x86: deprecate change_page_attr()
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@...ux.intel.com>

With the introduction of the new API, no driver or non-archcore code needs
to use c-p-a anymore, so this patch also deprecates the EXPORT_SYMBOL of CPA
(it's a horrible API after all).
