This should be 2.6.24 material:

Thanks to Rene Herman, the remaining calls to those functions got eliminated
in the sound/isa layer recently.
Those functions are a workaround for wrong BIOS pnp information and give
drivers the possibility to override BIOS exported PNP resources.
This can be done through sysfs since 2.6, therefore these functions should
vanish rather soon, as dynamic allocation for PNP resources is depending
on it.

I'll withhold an ack on this for now. The ALSA side patch has hit the ALSA repositories but wouldn't seem likely to end up in 2.6.24 at this point in the development cycle.

Can't have it deprecated with ALSA still using them...

Rene.
