Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6: (31 commits) driver core: Display error codes when class suspend fails Driver core: Add section count to memory_block struct Driver core: Add mutex for adding/removing memory blocks Driver core: Move find_memory_block routine hpilo: Despecificate driver from iLO generation driver core: Convert link_mem_sections to use find_memory_block_hinted. driver core: Introduce find_memory_block_hinted which utilizes kset_find_obj_hinted. kobject: Introduce kset_find_obj_hinted. driver core: fix build for CONFIG_BLOCK not enabled driver-core: base: change to new flag variable sysfs: only access bin file vm_ops with the active lock sysfs: Fail bin file mmap if vma close is implemented. FW_LOADER: fix kconfig dependency warning on HOTPLUG uio: Statically allocate uio_class and use class .dev_attrs. uio: Support 2^MINOR_BITS minors uio: Cleanup irq handling. uio: Don't clear driver data uio: Fix lack of locking in init_uio_class SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout driver core: remove CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 but keep it for block devices ...
