Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6: (79 commits)
  arm: bus_id -> dev_name() and dev_set_name() conversions
  sparc64: fix up bus_id changes in sparc core code
  3c59x: handle pci_name() being const
  MTD: handle pci_name() being const
  HP iLO driver
  sysdev: Convert the x86 mce tolerant sysdev attribute to generic attribute
  sysdev: Add utility functions for simple int/ulong variable sysdev attributes
  sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function
  driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename().
  kobject: Transmit return value of call_usermodehelper() to caller
  sysfs-rules.txt: reword API stability statement
  debugfs: Implement debugfs_remove_recursive()
  HOWTO: change email addresses of James in HOWTO
  always enable FW_LOADER unless EMBEDDED=y
  uio-howto.tmpl: use unique output names
  uio-howto.tmpl: use standard copyright/legal markings
  sysfs: don't call notify_change
  sysdev: fix debugging statements in registration code.
  kobject: should use kobject_put() in kset-example
  kobject: reorder kobject to save space on 64 bit builds
