[PATCH] sysfs: remove "last sysfs file:" line from the oops messages

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

---------------
I'm going to queue this up for the .40 kernel merge window, any
objections?
---------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would
print out the last sysfs file accessed.

This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs
in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of
years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that
couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback.

So it's time to delete the line.  This is good as we need all the space
we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.
