[BK PATCH] Driver Core patches for 2.6.9

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

Hi,

Here are a bunch of driver core 2.6.9.  They have all been in the -mm
tree for a number of weeks.  They contain:
	- add /sys/kernel for kernel stuff (like the hotplug sequence
	  number).
	- add the kevent code.
	- change the export type of the sysfs and driver core symbols.
	- other good stuff (see below for full list)

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.

  o export of SEQNUM to userspace (creates /sys/kernel)

Andrew Morton:
  o ksysfs warning fix
  o kobject_uevent warning fix

Greg Kroah-Hartman:
