Driver Core patches for 2.6.6

Hi,

Here are lots of fun changes related to the driver core and sysfs for
2.6.6.  They include adding the module param info to sysfs, more
class_simple changes, a smbios driver, and some sysfs bug fixes.

All of these patches have been in the -mm tree for a number of releases.

Please pull from:
	bk://kernel.bkbits.net/gregkh/linux/driver-2.6

thanks,

greg k-h

p.s. I'll send these as patches in response to this email to lkml for
those who want to see them.
