[GIT PATCH] driver core patches against 2.6.24

Due to the low level nature of these patches, and because they touch so
many different parts of the kernel, a number of the subsystem
maintainers have asked me to get them in first to make merging other
trees easier.

Here are a pretty large number of kobject, documentation, and driver
core patches against your 2.6.24 git tree.

They can be broken down into these major areas:
- Documentation updates (language translations and fixes, as
well as kobject and kset documenatation updates.)
- major kset/kobject/ktype rework and fixes. This cleans up the
kset and kobject and ktype relationship and architecture,
making sense of things now, and good documenation and samples
are provided for others to use. Also the attributes for
kobjects are much easier to handle now. This cleaned up a LOT
of code all through the kernel, making kobjects easier to use
if you want to.
- struct bus_type has been reworked to now handle the lifetime
rules properly, as the kobject is properly dynamic.
- struct driver has also been reworked, and now the lifetime
issues are resolved.
- the block subsystem has been converted to use struct device
now, and not "raw" kobjects. This patch has been in the -mm
tree for over a year now, and finally all the issues are
worked out with it. Older distros now properly work with new
kernels, and no userspace updates are needed at all.
- nozomi driver is added. This has also been in -mm for a long
time, and many people have asked for it to go in. It is now
in good enough shape to do so.
- lots of class_device conversions to use struct device instead.
The tree is almost all cleaned up now, only SCSI and IB is the
remaining code to fix up...

Please pull from:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/

All of these patches have been in the -mm tree for a number of months.

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

thanks,

greg k-h
