Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] libsysfs changes for sysfsutils 0.3.0

Here's the patch to up the library to the sysfsutils-0_3_0 level. The
following changes:

1) adds class name to sysfs_class_device structure
2) adds bus to sysfs_device
3) gets rid of code that made assumptions as to bus addresses being
unique across buses, which isn't the case.


I still owe you:

1) change getpagesize->sysconf. This is in the CVS tree and part of other
changes we're currently testing. Patch will follow.
2) you need a function to get a sysfs_class_device's parent. We hadn't
considered class devices to have parents, the one example of a multilevel
is the block class. We will add this function and send the patch to you.
