Add a kconfig option CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS to make procfs interface
a configurable attribute of ACPI.
No procfs interface is actually deprecated,
and no sysfs interface is added in this patch.
CONGI_ACPI_PROCFS is used to mark procfs interface as deprecated
once the same function is duplicated in sysfs.

Flag i2c_adapter.dev for removal after userspace tools get upgraded, and
include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this:
- The class device gets the name attribute it should have had. This
was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node.
Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away.
- Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any
physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to
fix this problem earlier.
This is one of a series of patches to help the I2C stack become a better
citizen of the Linux Driver Model world.

This interface was useless as the LPC ISA-like interface is always
available, is faster, and is more reliable. This cuts the driver
size by some 20%.
This change is also required to later convert the it87 driver to a
platform driver, so that we can get rid of i2c-isa in a near future.

Follow-up to patch "Consolidate driver registering":
Since I plan the lifetime of Linux 2.6.20 to be the deprecation phase
of CONFIG_IEEE1394_EXPORT_FULL_API, it seems fair to keep all previously
exported symbols available with this option until this phase is over.

There is no manpower available to reform oui.db into a library for use
in more kernel subsystems. The low ratio of usefulness to size and the
occasional need to update oui.db from IEEE's official list suggest to
drop oui.db. I plan to make a userspace script available which
translates the remaining numeric sysfs attributes to names of
organizations.

We really can't remove ip_queue. Many users use this, there is no binary
compatible interface and even the compat replacement for the originally
statically linked library doesn't work. There is also no real necessity
to remove the code, so the feature-removal-schedule entry should be
removed instead.

The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a
very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real
users of sys_sysctl. It was my assumption that because sysctl had been
deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,
so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.
Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed
with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and
work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to
find these last remaining users.
Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the
meantime.
Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl
entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to
fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is
no longer a need to change the binary interface at all.
Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and
the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break
the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with
the removal of sys_sysctl.
So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes
the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code
in by default.
With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a
fast interface for anything that needs it. Currently sys_sysctl is about
5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.
