While both works, the __deprecated markup at the header looks
better for me, as it makes easier to check inside a header file
what's deprecated. Also, it helps avoiding conflicts.

Anyway, if we either use Coccinelle or __deprecated, I doubt that
most people will remember to add a:
	-D__deprecated=__attribute__((deprecated))
or to call a coccinelle script to do such checks, even if properly
documented.

IMHO, whatever solution, the best would be to have a makefile
target equivalent to allmodconfig and allyesconfig that would 
add such extra maintainership logic.



Thanks,
