By consolidating them all into one section at the very end. And to
make double-sure that no one gets confused start with a stern warning
against any use of them. And prefix all subsections with "Legacy".

     <para>
-      Those are legacy suspend and resume methods. New driver should use the
-      power management interface provided by their bus type (usually through
-      the struct <structname>device_driver</structname> dev_pm_ops) and set
-      these methods to NULL.
+      The section very brievely covers some of the old legacy support code which
+      is only used by old DRM drivers which have done a so-called shadow-attach
+      to the underlying device instead of registering as a real driver. This
+      also includes some of the old generic buffer mangement and command
+      submission code. Do not use any of this in new and modern drivers.
