+	  - source include statments should be changed from autofs_fs4.h to
+	    autofs_fs.h since these two header files have been merged.
+	  - user space scripts that manually load autofs4.ko should be
+	    changed to load autofs.ko. But since the module directory name
+	    and the module name are the same as the file system name there
+	    is no need to manually load module.
+	  - any "alias autofs autofs4" will need to be removed.
+
+	  Please configure AUTOFS_FS instead of AUTOFS4_FS from now on.
