+What:	fakephp and associated sysfs files in /sys/bus/pci/slots/
+When:	2011
+Why:	In 2.6.27, the semantics of /sys/bus/pci/slots was redefined to
+	represent a machine's physical PCI slots. The change in semantics
+	had userspace implications, as the hotplug core no longer allowed
+	drivers to create multiple sysfs files per physical slot (required
+	for multi-function devices, e.g.). fakephp was seen as a developer's
+	tool only, and its interface changed. Too late, we learned that
+	there were some users of the fakephp interface.
+
+	In 2.6.30, the original fakephp interface was restored. At the same
+	time, the PCI core gained the ability that fakephp provided, namely
+	function-level hot-remove and hot-add.
+
+	Since the PCI core now provides the same functionality, exposed in:
+
+		/sys/bus/pci/rescan
+		/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove
+		/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan
+
+	there is no functional reason to maintain fakephp as well.
+
+	We will keep the existing module so that 'modprobe fakephp' will
+	present the old /sys/bus/pci/slots/... interface for compatibility,
+	but users are urged to migrate their applications to the API above.
+
+	After a reasonable transition period, we will remove the legacy
+	fakephp interface.
