[GIT PATCH] Driver Core patches for 2.6.15

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

Here are a lot of driver core patches for 2.6.15.  They have all been in
the past few -mm releases with no problems.  They contain the following
things:
	- sysfs fixes.
	- klist fixes.
	- input build fixes.
	- platform driver interface additions
	- uevent and hotplug merge together
	- block device symlink fixes
	- lots of other good stuff, see the changelog below.

Please pull from:
	rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/
or if master.kernel.org hasn't synced up yet:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/

The full patch set will be sent to the linux-kernel mailing list, if
anyone wants to see them.

thanks,

greg k-h
