If we exclude directories and symlinks from the set of sysfs
dirents where we need active references we are left with
sysfs attributes (binary or not).
- Tweak sysfs_deactivate to only do something on attributes
- Move lockdep initialization into sysfs_file_add_mode to
limit it to just attributes.

It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is
pointless. The purpose of the active references are to allows us to
block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't
remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom
methods from accessing data structures after the files have been
removed. Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the
directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance
we will remove a directory with active children.

Ben Nizette, the author of this driver, told me in a private mail that this
project has been cancelled. He suggested to remove the driver for now, and
will come back with a new version should the hardware really exist.
This patch completely removes the driver.

Two trivial fixes for the Userspace IO Kconfig file:
1) uio_sercos3 is a PCI driver, so let it depend on PCI.
2) "default n" under UIO_PCI_GENERIC is luxury since it is already the default.

This patch adds a Userspace IO driver for netX-based fieldbus cards by
Hilscher (see http://www.hilscher.com). ATM, cifX and comX cards are
supported. The userspace part for this driver is provided by Hilscher
and should come with the card.
The driver is in use for several months now and has been tested by
people at Hilscher and Linutronix.

A pointer to cfag12864bfb_probe is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.
An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

When sysfs_readdir stops short we now cache the next
sysfs_dirent to return to user space in filp->private_data.
There is no impact on the rest of sysfs by doing this and
in the common case it allows us to pick up exactly where
we left off with no seeking.
Additionally I drop and regrab the sysfs_mutex around
filldir to avoid a page fault abritrarily increasing the
hold time on the sysfs_mutex.
v2: Returned to using INT_MAX as the EOF condition.
seekdir is ambiguous unless all directory entries have
a unique f_pos value.

Before unlinking the inode, reset the current permissions of possible

across the device lifetime by creating hardlinks, in the unusual case
that there is a user-writable directory on the same filesystem.
