What's wrong with keeping backwards compatibility? We've had the
oldstat() stuff, we've had the "warning: uses broken flock()
emulation" stuff, now we'll do the same with the cua* devices.
All to make the transition to newer kernels easy.
Perhaps the old functions can be omitted from the second-to-next
generation kernels so that they will give ENOSYS, but there's no point
in deleting defines from the headers.
