mark something as __depreciated if there are no in-kernel users, just

If you have out-of-tree drivers, then yes, they can make a wrapper for
this function like this if they really feel the need, or they can get
their code merged:)

Sorry, I guess I should have been clearer. My suggestion was to fix some of the drivers where the domain can be determined, and for the rest, just mark the old function as deprecated.

If that's still a terrible idea, well, okay. I'm just unsure that simply hard-coding a 0 for the domain for some drivers is really a solution. Don't we really want all drivers to properly support all domains?
