All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer
need to keep track if the name is statically assigned, we can just
unconditionally free() all kobject names on cleanup.

There are no in-kernel users of kobject_unregister() so it should be

We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper
cleanup when the last reference is dropped.
If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from
sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and
the allocated resources are released.
This allows us to clean up some driver core usage as well as allowing us
to do other such changes to the rest of the kernel.

The function is no longer used by anyone in the kernel, and it prevents
the proper sending of the kobject uevent after the needed files are set
up by the caller. kobject_init_and_add() can be used in its place.

This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a
flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one
directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks
to the disks.

This patch removes the kobject, and a few other driver-core-only fields
out of struct driver and into the driver core only. Now drivers can be
safely create on the stack or statically (like they currently are.)

The module driver specific code should belong in the driver core, not in
the kernel/ directory. So move this code. This is done in preparation
for some struct device_driver rework that should be confined to the
driver core code only.
This also lets us keep from exporting these functions, as no external
code should ever be calling it.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for the !CONFIG_MODULES fix.

The iseries driver wants to hang kobjects off of its driver, so, to
preserve backwards compatibility, we need to add a call to the driver
core to allow future changes to work properly.
Hopefully no one uses this function in the future and the iseries_veth
driver authors come to their senses so I can remove this hack...

struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel. This moves the
kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to
the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure. This lets
us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the
chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct
bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access.
Thanks to Kay for the build fixes on this patch.

This allows an easier way to get to the device klist associated with a
struct bus_type (you have three to choose from...) This will make it
easier to move these fields to be dynamic in a future patch.
The only user of this is the PCI core which horribly abuses this
interface to rearrange the order of the pci devices. This should be
done using the existing bus device walking functions, but that's left
for future patches.

Clean up the use of ksets and kobjects. Kobjects are instances of
objects (like struct user_info), ksets are collections of objects of a
similar type (like the uids directory containing the user_info directories).
So, use kobjects for the user_info directories, and a kset for the "uids"
directory.
On object cleanup, the final kobject_put() was missing.

Add kobj_sysfs_ops to replace subsys_sysfs_ops. There is no
need for special kset operations, we want to be able to use

will go away with the upcoming removal of subsys_sysfs_ops.

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically.
Having 3 static kobjects in one structure is not only foolish, but ripe

outside of the driver core...)

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this
