+Date: July 2005 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.18
+Contact: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
+Description:
+ devfs has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable
+ races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is
+ against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
+ The files fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h were removed,
+ along with the assorted devfs function calls throughout the
+ kernel tree.

+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+ This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +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.

+Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
+Description:
+ /dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
+ access to FireWire buses. Its major drawbacks were its inability
+ to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
+ of abstraction that required userspace clients to duplicate much
+ of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
+ Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of

+Description:
+ (RO) Size of a write request to a DIMM that will not incur a
+ read-modify-write cycle at the memory controller.
+
+ When the nfit driver initializes it runs an ARS (Address Range
+ Scrub) operation across every pmem range. Part of that process
+ involves determining the ARS capabilities of a given address
+ range. One of the capabilities that is reported is the 'Clear
+ Uncorrectable Error Range Length Unit Size' (see: ACPI 6.2
+ section 9.20.7.4 Function Index 1 - Query ARS Capabilities).
+ This property indicates the boundary at which the NVDIMM may
+ need to perform read-modify-write cycles to maintain ECC (Error
+ Correcting Code) blocks.

+Description:
+ /dev/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
