Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] Documentation/ABI: mark /sys/kernel/fadump_* sysfs files deprecated
The /sys/kernel/fadump_* sysfs files are replicated under
/sys/kernel/fadump/ directory. But we need to keep the old
sysfs files to maintain the backward compatibility.
The sysfs files are scheduled to remove by 2021.
