[BK PATCH] Driver Core patches for 2.6.9-rc1

[greg@kroah.com (Greg KH)]

Hi,

Here are some driver core patches for 2.6.9-rc1.  They fix a few minor
error paths, and shrink down the kref code enough to be able to use it
in a kobject.  All of the driver patches have been in the patch few -mm
releases.

I've also put 4 minor I2C patches, and two PCI patches as they need to
make it into the mainline tree soon.

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.
