+What:   init_mm export
+When:   2.6.26
+Why:   Not used in-tree. The current out-of-tree users used it to
+   work around problems in the CPA code which should be resolved
+   by now. One usecase was described to provide verification code
+   of the CPA operation. That's a good idea in general, but such
+   code / infrastructure should be in the kernel and not in some
+   out-of-tree driver.
