Hi Jesse, Kenji, et al,

This is v3 of the series that implements a series of changes
that allows the PCI core to manage slot names, rather than
individual hotplug drivers.

v2 -> v3:
	- incorporate Willy's code review comments
	- fix possible memory leak, pointed out by Rolf Eike Beer
	- make false name collision detection work for empty slots
	- add 'dup_slots' module_param to fakephp to help debug all this ;)

v1 -> v2:
	- fix possible false name collisions

This series applies against linux-next. I've tested this by loading
pci_slot and various hotplug drivers to ensure that the hotplug drivers
can successfully override the pci_slot names.

I'm including the previous explanation/justification to remind
folks of the raison d'etre for this patchset.

Thanks.

There are several benefits to this approach:

	1) The core can prevent duplicate slot names on systems
	with broken firmware.

	2) Since the kobject core keeps a copy of the slot name,
	there is no need for each driver to manage a separate
	copy, especially since the core can rename slots from
	underneath drivers. We save runtime memory by only
	referencing the kobject name.

	2.a) The PCI hotplug core doesn't need its own reference
	for slot name either.

	3) Individual hotplug drivers become just a little bit
	simpler by pushing as many kzalloc() calls for 'name'
	down into the PCI core as possible.
