Driver core: add ability for devices to create and remove bin files
Makes it easier for devices to create and remove binary attribute files
so they don't have to call directly into sysfs. This is needed to help
with the conversion from struct class_device to struct device.
This change creates a devices/virtual/CLASS_NAME tree for struct devices
that belong to a class, yet do not have a "real" struct device for a
parent. It automatically creates the directories on the fly as needed.

Driver core: add ability for classes to handle devices properly
This adds two new callbacks to the class structure:
int (*dev_uevent)(struct device *dev, char **envp, int num_envp,
char *buffer, int buffer_size);
void (*dev_release)(struct device *dev);
And one pointer:
struct device_attribute * dev_attrs;
which all corrispond with the same thing as the "normal" class devices
do, yet this is for when a struct device is bound to a class.
Someday soon, struct class_device will go away, and then the other
fields in this structure can be removed too. But this is necessary in
order to get the transition to work properly.
Tested out on a network core patch that converted it to use struct
device instead of struct class_device.

PM: define PM_EVENT_PRETHAW
This adds a new pm_message_t event type to use when preparing to restore a
swsusp snapshot. Devices that have been initialized by Linux after resume
(rather than left in power-up-reset state) may need to be reset; this new
event type give drivers the chance to do that.
The drivers that will care about this are those which understand more hardware
states than just "on" and "reset", relying on hardware state during resume()
methods to be either the state left by the preceding suspend(), or a
power-lost reset. The best current example of this class of drivers are USB
host controller drivers, which currently do not work through swsusp when
they're statically linked.
When the swsusp freeze/thaw mechanism kicks in, a troublesome third state
could exist: one state set up by a different kernel instance, before a
snapshot image is resumed. This mechanism lets drivers prevent that state.

fix broken/dubious driver suspend() methods
Small driver suspend() fixes in preparation for the PRETHAW events:
- Only compare message events for equality against PM_EVENT_* codes;
not against integers, or using greater/less-than comparisons.
(PM_EVENT_* should really become a __bitwise thing.)
- Explicitly test for SUSPEND events (rather than not-something-else)
before suspending devices.
- Removes more of the confusion between a pm_message_t (wraps event code)
and a "state" ... suspend() originally took a target system state.
These updates are correct and appropriate even without new PM_EVENT codes.

[PATCH] load_module: no BUG if module_subsys uninitialized
Invoking load_module() before param_sysfs_init() is called crashes in
mod_sysfs_setup(), since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet.
In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to
create a UNIX socket. Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init
initcall.
Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch)
moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not
early enough in the boot process in some cases. In particular,
topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the
UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module. Moving
param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race,
but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module
to load earlier still.
The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the
kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized.

kbuild: modpost on vmlinux regardless of CONFIG_MODULES
Based on patch from: Magnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp>
This has the advantage that all section mismatch checks are run regardless
of modules being enabled or not.
When running modpost on vmlinux output:
MODPOST vmlinux
When running modpost on modules output count of modules like this:
MODPOST 5 modules
projects / linux-2.6 / log
