ooh, that was clever of me.
Here is the text which was missing from the changelog:
This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup:
notify ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel
to emit a printk warning users that the feature is planned for
removal. Since that time we have heard from XXX users who were
affected by this.
Please provide XXX.
How do we know that 2.6.37->2.6.38 is long enough? Will any major
distros be released containing this warning in that timeframe? I doubt
it.
