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.

driver core: remove owner field from struct bus_type
This isn't used by anything in the driver core, and by no one in the 204
different usages of it in the kernel tree. Remove this field so no one
gets any idea that it is needed to be used.

This code is really really really broken. So much so that it's almost
impossible to fix with a simple patch, so just comment out the offending
registration with the kobject core, and mark the driver as broken.
The problem is that the code is trying to register a "raw" struct
device, which is not allowed. struct device is only for use within the
driver model. This is being done to try to use the firmware layer which
wants a struct device. To properly fix this, use something easy, like a
platform device, which is a struct device and can be used for this kind
of thing.

kobject: grab the kset reference in kobject_add, not kobject_init
kobject_init should not be grabing any references, but only initializing

for when a kset is present in the kobject.

rpadlpar pci hotplug driver was doing some pretty bad stuff with the
sysfs files. This cleans up the logic to be sane and gets rid of the
gratuitous kset that is not needed for a simple directory like this.
Note, this patch is not even build tested, let alone run-time tested.
Someone with access to this hardware and can test would be greatly
appreciated.

There is no firmware "subsystem" it's just a directory in /sys that
other portions of the kernel want to hook into. So make it a kobject
not a kset to help alivate anyone who tries to do some odd kset-like
things with this.

Remove the no longer needed subsys_attributes, they are all converted to

There is no longer a magic fallback in sysfs attribute operations, all

assigned, which tells the core what was intended here.

fix struct user_info export's sysfs interaction
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.

Driver Core: add kobj_attribute handling
Add kobj_sysfs_ops to replace subsys_sysfs_ops. There is no

simple attribute operations at any kobject, not only ksets.
The whole concept of any default sysfs attribute operations
will go away with the upcoming removal of subsys_sysfs_ops.

Now ksets can be dynamically created on the fly, no static definitions
are required. Thanks to Miklos for hints on how to make this work
better for the callers.
And thanks to Kay for finding some stupid bugs in my original version
and pointing out that we need to handle the fact that kobject's can have
a kset as a parent and to handle that properly in kobject_add().
We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.
This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.
