I have a set of patches to clear up the sysfs lockdep false positives.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/11/329

It requires sprinking a bunch of sysfs_attr_init on the few dynamically
allocated sysfs attributes, and I haven't found them all yet. Otherwise
it seems to be working well.

Greg should pick up those patches shortly and they should be appearing
in linux-next and then ultimately in 2.6.34.
