[GIT PATCH] Driver Core patches for 2.6.18

[Greg KH]

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:
	git://git.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/

Patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.

thanks,

greg k-h
