As we all know, not everyone reads the Documentation/feature_removal.txt file, so we need a bigger way to remind people. Here's a series of three patches that adds this functionality, and marks the RCU and USB subsystems with them. I'll be adding these to my kernel trees to have them show up in the -mm releases for testing. thanks, greg k-h
