No, this patch does not update the proper file within sysfs, only the
directory entry, which isn't what we really want. I just sent off the
following patch to Pat Mochel that adds sysfs_update_file() to sysfs,
and modified the pci hotplug core to use it. I've already applied your
previous patches, so you don't have to resend anything to me :)
