Here are a bunch of driver core and sysfs patches and fixes for 2.6.18.
They contain the following changes:
- your suspend resume api changes
- lots of other suspend issue fixes and documentation for power
issues.
- driver core additions to allow devices to replace class
devices (no subsystems have been changed however, those remain
out of mainline until udev and other helper utilities get
fixed up properly.)
- __must_check config option to shut it up because of:
- add __must_check to the driver core to fix driver bugs (lots
of __must_check fixes are staged and ready to come in after
these patches go in).
- multi-thread device probe addition to both the driver core,
and the PCI subsystem (overridden by a config and command line
option.)
- other minor bugfixes.
All of these patches have been in the -mm tree for a quite a while.
Please pull from:

or if master.kernel.org hasn't synced up yet:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/
Patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.
thanks,
