Merge branch 'driver-core-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6
* 'driver-core-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6: (44 commits)
debugfs: Silence DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS=y warning
sysfs: remove "last sysfs file:" line from the oops messages
drivers/base/memory.c: fix warning due to "memory hotplug: Speed up add/remove when blocks are larger than PAGES_PER_SECTION"
memory hotplug: Speed up add/remove when blocks are larger than PAGES_PER_SECTION
SYSFS: Fix erroneous comments for sysfs_update_group().
driver core: remove the driver-model structures from the documentation
driver core: Add the device driver-model structures to kerneldoc
Translated Documentation/email-clients.txt
RAW driver: Remove call to kobject_put().
reboot: disable usermodehelper to prevent fs access
efivars: prevent oops on unload when efi is not enabled
Allow setting of number of raw devices as a module parameter
Introduce CONFIG_GOOGLE_FIRMWARE
driver: Google Memory Console
driver: Google EFI SMI
x86: Better comments for get_bios_ebda()
x86: get_bios_ebda_length()
misc: fix ti-st build issues
params.c: Use new strtobool function to process boolean inputs
debugfs: move to new strtobool
...
Fix up trivial conflicts in fs/debugfs/file.c due to the same patch
being applied twice, and an unrelated cleanup nearby.
