What:		dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
Contact:	linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
	New application development should use raw1394 + userspace libraries
	instead, notably libiec61883 which is functionally equivalent.

Users:
	ffmpeg/libavformat (used by a variety of media players)
	dvgrab v1.x (replaced by dvgrab2 on top of raw1394 and resp. libraries)

What:	/proc/<pid>/oom_adj
When:	August 2012
Why:	/proc/<pid>/oom_adj allows userspace to influence the oom killer's
	badness heuristic used to determine which task to kill when the kernel
	is out of memory.

	The badness heuristic has since been rewritten since the introduction of
	this tunable such that its meaning is deprecated.  The value was
	implemented as a bitshift on a score generated by the badness()
	function that did not have any precise units of measure.  With the
	rewrite, the score is given as a proportion of available memory to the
	task allocating pages, so using a bitshift which grows the score
	exponentially is, thus, impossible to tune with fine granularity.

	A much more powerful interface, /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj, was
	introduced with the oom killer rewrite that allows users to increase or
	decrease the badness() score linearly.  This interface will replace
	/proc/<pid>/oom_adj.

	A warning will be emitted to the kernel log if an application uses this
	deprecated interface.  After it is printed once, future warnings will be
	suppressed until the kernel is rebooted.

What:		dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
Date:		May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
Contact:	linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
	/dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
	controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
	could be received by read() or transmitted by write().  A few
	ioctl()s allowed limited control.
	This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
	libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
	transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.

Users:
	ffmpeg/libavformat (if configured for DV1394)
