[PATCH] x86: sysfs - kill owner field from attribute
From: Parag Warudkar
Date: Tue Sep 09 2008 - 19:11:19 EST
Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary.
But the field was left in the structure to ease the merge. It's been
over a year since that change and it is now time to start killing
attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at a time!
This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .
We will deal with other arches later on as and when possible - avr32
will be the next since that is something I can test.
Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config) and boot tested.
I would prefer to have this in -mm or one of the other trees for some
time before hitting mainline just to make sure there are no issues.
