These patches would be a lot more useful if the summary contained the name
of the function being removed, rather than "remove function prototype" and
variations of that.  Something like:

   staging: lustre: remove cfs_trace_free_string_buffer prototype
   staging: lustre: remove ldlm_pool_set_limit wrapper
   staging: lustre: remove ldlm_pool_get_limit wrapper

Not sure if that is grounds for rejection of this patch series (I'll leave
that up to Dan and Greg), but definitely something for future patches.

Cheers, Andreas
