* sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo2007-07-111-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

* [POWERPC] Introduce _SYSDEV_ATTROlof Johansson2007-02-071-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | Introduce _SYSDEV_ATTR(), to be used to just define the struct, and not a named variable with the attribute. Useful for arrays of sysdev_attributes.

* [PATCH] pm_message_t: more fixes in common and i386Pavel Machek2005-04-161-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | I thought I'm done with fixing u32 vs. pm_message_t ... unfortunately that turned out not to be the case as Russel King pointed out. Here are fixes for Documentation and common code (mainly system devices).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
