I'm afraid I don't even know how to best word a reply to this. What
has the Linux kernel version got to do with the interfaces provided
by Xen? Is your reply meant to say that something was removed
from the Linux kernel in that version? That's fine - consumers can
stop consuming interfaces they don't like to use. But Xen (the
producer of interfaces like the one discussed here) can't lightly stop
providing interfaces, irrespective of their use in upstream Linux.
