 ---------------------------
 
-What:	init_mm export
-When:	2.6.26
-Why:	Not used in-tree. The current out-of-tree users used it to
-	work around problems in the CPA code which should be resolved
-	by now. One usecase was described to provide verification code
-	of the CPA operation. That's a good idea in general, but such
-	code / infrastructure should be in the kernel and not in some
-	out-of-tree driver.

 What:	usedac i386 kernel parameter
