-	techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform.
-	These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the
-	performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware
-	expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of
-	years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this
-	feature from the hypervisor. We will be removing this feature from the
-	Kernel too. Right now we are targeting 2.6.37 but can retire earlier if
-	technical reasons (read opportunity to remove major chunk of pvops)
-	arise.
-
-	Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels
-	still work fine on VMware's platform.
-	Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are,
-	Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence
-	releases for these products will continue supporting VMI.

 Note that it is possible to get back a valid pointer for an element which
 has never been stored in the array.  Memory for array elements is allocated
 one page at a time; a single allocation could provide memory for several
-adjacent elements.  Flexible array elements are normally initialized to the
-value FLEX_ARRAY_FREE (defined as 0x6c in <linux/poison.h>), so errors
-involving that number probably result from use of unstored array entries.
-Note that, if array elements are allocated with __GFP_ZERO, they will be
-initialized to zero and this poisoning will not happen.
-
-Individual elements in the array can be cleared with:
-
-    int flex_array_clear(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int element_nr);
-
-This function will set the given element to FLEX_ARRAY_FREE and return
-zero.  If storage for the indicated element is not allocated for the array,
-flex_array_clear() will return -EINVAL instead.  Note that clearing an
-element does not release the storage associated with it; to reduce the
-allocated size of an array, call:
-
-    int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *array);
-
-The return value will be the number of pages of memory actually freed.
-This function works by scanning the array for pages containing nothing but
-FLEX_ARRAY_FREE bytes, so (1) it can be expensive, and (2) it will not work
-if the array's pages are allocated with __GFP_ZERO.

-It is possible to remove all elements of an array with a call to:
+adjacent elements.  The flexible array code does not know if a specific
+element has been written; it only knows if the associated memory is
+present.  So a flex_array_get() call on an element which was never stored
+in the array has the potential to return a pointer to random data.  If the
+caller does not have a separate way to know which elements were actually
+stored, it might be wise, at least, to add GFP_ZERO to the flags argument
+to ensure that all elements are zeroed.
+
+There is no way to remove a single element from the array.  It is possible,
+though, to remove all elements with a call to:
 
     void flex_array_free_parts(struct flex_array *array);
