ieee1394: schedule for removal



All application domains that are supported by the old ieee1394 driver
stack are supported by the newer firewire driver stack too.  There is
now good and extensive experience with the newer stack from deployment
in Fedora since F7 as well as by enthusiast users of other
distributions.

The new drivers have consequently been recommended as the default ones
since 2.6.33, in order to fix some severe usability problems of FireWire
on Linux due to limitations of the old stack.  It is now high time to
announce when the obsolete drivers will be removed.
