Attribute groups are more flexible than attribute lists
(an attribute list can be represented by anonymous group)
so switch struct device_type to use them.
Also rework attribute creation for devices so that they all
cleaned up properly in case of errors.
The flag "drivers_autoprobe" controls the behavior of the bus to bind
devices by default, or just initialize the device and leave it alone.
The command "drivers_probe" accepts a bus_id and the bus tries to bind a
driver to this device.
Systems who want to control the driver binding with udev, switch off the
bus initiated probing:
echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/usb/drivers_autoprobe
echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/pcmcia/drivers_autoprobe
...
and initiate the probing with udev rules like:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
...
Custom driver binding can happen in earlier rules by something like:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1234", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5678" \
ATTR{subsystem/drivers/<custom-driver>/bind}="$kernel"
This is intended to solve the modprobe.conf mess with "install-rules", custom
bind/unbind-scripts and all the weird things people invented over the years.
It should also provide the functionality "libusual" was supposed to do.
With udev, one can just write a udev rule to drive all USB-disks at the
third port of USB-hub by the "ub" driver, and everything else by
usb-storage. One can also instruct udev to bind different wireless
drivers to identical cards - just selected by the pcmcia slot-number, and
whatever ...
To use the mentioned rules, it needs udev version 106, to be able to
write ATTR{}="$kernel" to sysfs files.

[S390] dasd: Add sysfs attribute status and generate uevents.
This patch adds a sysfs-attribute 'status' to make the DASD device-status
accessible from user-space. In addition, the DASD driver generates an
uevent(CHANGE) for the ccw-device on each device-status change.
This enables user-space applications (e.g. udev) to do related processing.
Recent cvs versions of gcc have support for an improved stack overflow
checking that calculates the size of the guard size for each function.
If the compiler accepts -mstack-size without -mstack-guard then the
new stack check is available. We always want to use the new stack
checker.

Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:con3270_consetup from .data
between 'con3270' (at offset 0x45c8) and 'con3270_fn'
Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:con3215_consetup from .data
between 'con3215' (at offset 0x4678) and
'raw3215_ccw_driver'
Since there is no difference between a non present console setup
function and one that returns only 0 remove them.

Simplify the signal_return function that checks for the two special
system calls sigreturn and rt_sigreturn. No need to do a page table
walk, a call to copy_from_user while disabled page faults will work
as well.

The minor fault path has grown a lot in terms of cycles. In particular
the kprobes hook is very costly. Optimize the path to save a couple of
cycles. If kprobes is enabled more than 300 cycles can be avoided if
kprobes_running() is false.

Generic bug implementation for s390. Will increase the value of the
console output on BUG() statements since registers r0-r5,r14 will
not be clobbered by a printk() call that was previously done before
the illegal instruction of BUG() was hit.
Also implements an architecture specific WARN_ON(). Output of that
could be increased but requires common code change.

This patch adds two improvements to the oops output. First it adds an
additional line after the PSW which decodes the different fields of it.
Second a disassembler is added that decodes the instructions surrounding
the faulting PSW. The output of a test oops now looks like this:
Remove system call glue for sys_clone, sys_fork, sys_vfork, sys_execve,
sys_sigreturn, sys_rt_sigreturn and sys_sigaltstack. Call do_execve from
kernel_execve directly, move pt_regs to the right place and branch to
sysc_return to start the user space program. This removes the last
in-kernel system call.

We used to unregister ccw devices not directly from the I/O
subchannel remove function in order to avoid lifelocks on the
css bus semaphore. This semaphore is gone, and there is no reason
to not unregister the ccw device directly (it is even better since
it is more in keeping with the goal of immediate disconnect).

We allocage two pages when channel path measurements are enabled
via cm_enable. We must not forget to free them again when
channel path measurements are disabled again.
