[BK PATCH] Driver Core update for 2.6.3-rc1

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

Hi,

Here are a few driver core changes for 2.6.3-rc1.  The big one here is
the cdev changes which make that interface a lot simpler to use.  These
changes have all been in the past few -mm trees with no problems.

Please pull from:
	bk://kernel.bkbits.net/gregkh/linux/driver-2.6

thanks,

greg k-h

p.s. I'll send these as patches in response to this email to lkml for
those who want to see them.
