Why not?
The intend of __deprecated is to throw some compile warnings?
In this case it would warn on the official 2.6.24 on functions which are
known to be reverted already for the next cycle (this should not hurt?),
it's more for drivers building against kernel headers getting noticed as
soon as possible...

If this is not added to 2.6.24, the funcs should live there for another
kernel cycle just to not print some irrelevant warnings at compile time
things are slowed down...

This is also in vanilla and lives there for some time?:
kernel/power/pm.c:205: warning: ‘pm_register’ is deprecated (declared at kernel/power/pm.c:64)
kernel/power/pm.c:205: warning: ‘pm_register’ is deprecated (declared at kernel/power/pm.c:64)
kernel/power/pm.c:206: warning: ‘pm_send_all’ is deprecated (declared at kernel/power/pm.c:180)
kernel/power/pm.c:206: warning: ‘pm_send_all’ is deprecated (declared at kernel/power/pm.c:180)

and there were hundreds of pci_find_bus_...() or similar marked
deprecated warnings some time ago (I doubt this was a suse kernel
modification)...
