kobject: convert /sys/hypervisor to use kobject_create
We don't need a kset here, a simple kobject will do just fine, so
dynamically create the kobject and use it.

We also rename hypervisor_subsys to hypervisor_kset to catch all users
of the variable.

kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset
We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Nasty bug in the block code was found by Dave Young

PM: Acquire device locks on suspend
This patch reorganizes the way suspend and resume notifications are
sent to drivers.  The major changes are that now the PM core acquires
every device semaphore before calling the methods, and calls to
device_add() during suspends will fail, while calls to device_del()
during suspends will block.

It also provides a way to safely remove a suspended device with the
help of the PM core, by using the device_pm_schedule_removal() callback
introduced specifically for this purpose, and updates two drivers (msr
and cpuid) that need to use it.

create /sys/.../power when CONFIG_PM is set
The CONFIG_SUSPEND changes in 2.6.23 caused a regression under certain
configuration conditions (SUSPEND=n, USB_AUTOSUSPEND=y) where all USB
device attributes in sysfs (idVendor, idProduct, ...) silently disappeared,
causing udev breakage and more.

The cause of this is that the /sys/.../power subdirectory is now only
created when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is set, however, it should be created whenever
CONFIG_PM is set to handle the above situation.  The following patch fixes
the regression.

Driver Core: fix bug in device_rename() for SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
This should fix the sysfs warnings that renaming network devices is
causing to show up with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y

The code just shouldn't run if class devices are real directories, it's
an update for the symlink in the class directory. Nobody noticed that as
long as the creation of sysfs files silently failed, and we both missed
it before the merge, because we don't run SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y.

memory hotplug: rearrange memory hotplug notifier
Current memory notifier has some defects yet.  (Fortunately, nothing uses
it.) This patch is to fix and rearrange for them.

  - Add information of start_pfn, nr_pages, and node id if node status is
    changes from/to memoryless node for callback functions.
    Callbacks can't do anything without those information.
  - Add notification going-online status.
    It is necessary for creating per node structure before the node's
    pages are available.
  - Move GOING_OFFLINE status notification after page isolation.
    It is good place for return memory like cache for callback,
    because returned page is not used again.
  - Make CANCEL events for rollingback when error occurs.
  - Delete MEM_MAPPING_INVALID notification. It will be not used.
  - Fix compile error of (un)register_memory_notifier().

sparsemem: record when a section has a valid mem_map
We have flags to indicate whether a section actually has a valid mem_map
associated with it.  This is never set and we rely solely on the present bit
to indicate a section is valid.  By definition a section is not valid if it
has no mem_map and there is a window during init where the present bit is set
but there is no mem_map, during which pfn_valid() will return true
incorrectly.

Use the existing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP flag to indicate the presence of a valid
mem_map.  Switch valid_section{,_nr} and pfn_valid() to this bit.  Add a new
present_section{,_nr} and pfn_present() interfaces for those users who care to
know that a section is going to be valid.

Prefix platform modalias strings with "platform:", which

Driver core: fix SYSF_DEPRECATED breakage for nested classdevs
We should only reparent to a class former class devices that
form the base of class hierarchy. Nested devices should still
grow from their real parents.

Add explicit zeroing to "envp" array in device 'show' method
As Stephen Hemminger says, this is a "belt and suspenders" patch that
zeroes the envp array at allocation time, even though all the users
should NULL-terminate it anyway (and we've hopefully fixed everybody
that doesn't do that).

And we'll apparently clean the whole envp thing up for 2.6.24 anyway.

But let's just be robust, and do both this *and* make sure that all
users are doing the right thing.

Driver core: fix deprectated sysfs structure for nested class devices
Nested class devices used to have 'device' symlink point to a real
(physical) device instead of a parent class device.  When converting
subsystems to struct device we need to keep doing what class devices did if
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is Y, otherwise parts of udev break.

CPU online file permission
Is there a reason why the "online" file in the subdirectories for the CPUs
in /sys/devices/system isn't world-readable?  I cannot imagine it to be
security relevant especially now that a getcpu() syscall can be used to
determine what CPUa thread runs on.

The file is useful to correctly implement the sysconf() function to return
the number of online CPUs.  In the presence of hotplug we currently cannot
provide this information.  The patch below should to it.
