Here are some driver core and sysfs patches for 2.6.16.  They contain
the following changes:
	- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE() added to the kernel
	- mark a few subsystems with this new export
	- fix a few sysfs bugs (fixes a few bugs with USB device
	  removals).
	- kref optimization
	- semaphore to mutex conversions
	- module sysfs files reference counting fixes
	- make sysfs a bit more verbous about errors/stupid usages.
	- mark where people are using the driver model wrong more
	  obvious.
	- add kobject_add_dir() function
	- add binary blob file type helper to debugfs
	- remove a few sysfs functions from being exported as no one
	  except the kobject code should be using it (it is impossible
	  to use these, so no one has.)
	- firmware error path fixes

All of these patches have been in the -mm tree for a number of weeks, if
not months.

Please pull from:
	rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/
or if master.kernel.org hasn't synced up yet:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/

Patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.

thanks,

greg k-h
