[RFC PATCH 2.6.12-rc3] dynamic driver sysfs callbacks and RFC on

[yani.ioannou@gmail.com (Yani Ioannou)]

Two patches for comment, first defining a set of macros as I
previously described would be useful, and second an initial patch to
adapt net/core/net-sysfs.c to take advantage of dynamic callbacks
(although this needs testing) using said macros.

Before: 15K linux-2.6.12-rc4/usr/src/linux/net/core/net-sysfs.o
After: 12K  linux-2.6.12-rc4-sysfsdyncallback-net-sysfs/net/core/net-sysfs.o

Obviously not as big a difference as with adm1026, but that's to be
expected, it doesn't define near as many attributes. I think the patch
cleans up the code aesthetically quite a bit too. If someone could
work out how to get rid of the macros for sprintfs (FIELD_FORMAT, etc)
that would be even better.

Night...errr morning :-),
