+What:  remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(kernel_thread)
+When:  August 2006
+Files: arch/*/kernel/*_ksyms.c
+Why:   kernel_thread is a low-level implementation detail.  Drivers should
+        use the <linux/kthread.h> API instead which shields them from
+       implementation details and provides a higherlevel interface that
+       prevents bugs and code duplication

 What:  EXPORT_SYMBOL(lookup_hash)
 When:  January 2006
 Why:   Too low-level interface.  Use lookup_one_len or lookup_create instead.

+What:  remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(tasklist_lock)
+When:  August 2006
+Files: kernel/fork.c
+Why:   tasklist_lock protects the kernel internal task list.  Modules have
+       no business looking at it, and all instances in drivers have been due
+       to use of too-lowlevel APIs.  Having this symbol exported prevents
+       moving to more scalable locking schemes for the task list.

 What:  mount/umount uevents
 When:  February 2007
 Why:   These events are not correct, and do not properly let userspace know
