[BK PATCH] Driver Core update for 2.6.4-rc1

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

Hi,

Here are a few driver core changes for 2.6.4-rc1.  There are a few
patches from Randy Dunlap that finish up his big sys_* cleanups, and the
ibm service processor driver has been added as well as some other minor
bugfixes.  All of these patches have been in the -mm tree for a while
now.

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.
