This patch (as1271) affects when new devices get linked into their
bus's list of devices. Currently this happens after probing, and it
doesn't happen at all if probing fails. Clearly this is wrong,
because at that point quite a few symbolic links have already been
created in sysfs. We are committed to adding the device, so it should
be linked into the bus's list regardless.
In addition, this needs to happen before the uevent announcing the new
device gets issued. Otherwise user programs might try to access the
device before it has been added to the bus.
To fix both these problems, the patch moves the call to
klist_add_tail() forward from bus_attach_device() to bus_add_device().
Since bus_attach_device() now does nothing but probe for drivers, it
has been renamed to bus_probe_device(). And lastly, the kerneldoc is
updated.

We also fix a problem with cleaning up properly when initializing
drivers and devices, so checks like this will work successfully.

If the bus_type is not registerd, driver_register to that bus will cause oops.
I found this bug when test built-in usb serial drivers (ie. aircable driver)
with 'nousb' cmdline params.
In this patch:
1. set the bus->p=NULL when bus_register failed and unregisterd.
2. if bus->p is NULL, driver_register BUG_ON will be triggered.

This patch moves bus->match out from driver_probe_device and
does not hold device lock to check the match between a device
and a driver.
The idea has been verified by the commit 6cd4958609,
which leads to a faster boot. But the commit 6cd4958609 has
the following drawbacks: 1),only does the quick check in
the path of __driver_attach->driver_probe_device, not in other
paths; 2),for a matched device and driver, check the same match
twice. It is a waste of cpu ,especially for some drivers with long
device id table (eg. usb-storage driver).
This patch adds a helper of driver_match_device to check the match
in all paths, and testes the match only once.

The PCI core wants to reorder the devices in the bus list. So move this
functionality out of the pci core and into the driver core so that
anyone else can also do this if needed. This also lets us change how
struct device is attached to drivers in the future without messing with
the PCI core.

Prevent bus_remove_device() from crashing if dev->knode_bus has not been
initialized before it's called.
This can happen if the device_add() ended up breaking out early due to
an error, for example.

device_is_registered() can use the kobject value for this, so it will
now work with devices that are associated with only a class, not a bus
and a driver.

The driver core, and some other parts of the kernel just want to find a
device based on a name for a specific bus. Give them a simple wrapper
to prevent them from having to always roll their own.
This will be used in the PPC patch later in this series.

The driver core debugging messages are a mess. This provides a unified
message that makes them actually useful.
The format for new kobject debug messages should be:
driver/bus/class: 'OBJECT_NAME': FUNCTION_NAME: message.\n
Note, the class code is not changed in this patch due to pending patches
in my queue that this would conflict with. A later patch will clean
them up.

This patch removes the kobject, and a few other driver-core-only fields
out of struct driver and into the driver core only. Now drivers can be
safely create on the stack or statically (like they currently are.)

struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel. This moves the
kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to
the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure. This lets
us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the
chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct
bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access.
Thanks to Kay for the build fixes on this patch.

This allows an easier way to get to the device klist associated with a
struct bus_type (you have three to choose from...) This will make it
easier to move these fields to be dynamic in a future patch.
The only user of this is the PCI core which horribly abuses this
interface to rearrange the order of the pci devices. This should be
done using the existing bus device walking functions, but that's left
for future patches.
