The device and driver support has already been removed from base for the 
next 3.14 release.
This means that applications that use the APS event system already have 
to make some changes.
This let them also get egRecord, egeventRecord, erRecord, and 
ereventRecord from modules/timing/apsEvent.
As I recall at least some of these were modified for the SLS and later 
event systems.
