[RFC PATCH 1/1] USB: FEATURE_REMOVAL: USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

[Felipe Balbi <felipe.lima@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Following what is mentioned in feature-removal-schedule.txt this
moves the two missing pieces in drivers/usb/core/driver.c to
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

Non-gpl code should be done in userspace using usbfs | libusb | gadgetfs
instead of trying to hook up binary-only drivers to the kernel.

-What:	USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
-When:	February 2008
-Files:	include/linux/usb.h, drivers/usb/core/driver.c
-Why:	The USB subsystem has changed a lot over time, and it has been
-	possible to create userspace USB drivers using usbfs/libusb/gadgetfs
-	that operate as fast as the USB bus allows.  Because of this, the USB
-	subsystem will not be allowing closed source kernel drivers to
-	register with it, after this grace period is over.  If anyone needs
-	any help in converting their closed source drivers over to use the
-	userspace filesystems, please contact the
-	linux-usb-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list, and the developers
-	there will be glad to help you out.

 What:	vm_ops.nopage
 When:	Soon, provided in-kernel callers have been converted
 Why:	This interface is replaced by vm_ops.fault, but it has been around
