 Why:   The old kmap_atomic() with two arguments is deprecated, we only

+What:  get_robust_list syscall
+When:  2013
+Why:   There appear to be no production users of the get_robust_list syscall,
+       and it runs the risk of leaking address locations, allowing the bypass
+       of ASLR. It was only ever intended for debugging, so it should be
+       removed.
