Subject: [GIT PATCH] Driver core fixes for 2.6.21-rc3

Here are some driver core fixes for 2.6.21-rc3.

They fix the following thing:
  - fix reference counting bug when removing any driver module from the
    system by reverting a previous "fix".
  - allow older versions of HAL to find network devices even if
    CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is disabled.
  - fix an oops when moving kobjects to the same destination location as
    they currently are caused by the bluetooth layer.
  - export a symbol to allow the wireless core to be built as a module -
    remove the devfs entry in the MAINTAINERS file.

All of these have been in the -mm tree.

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/

Patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.

thanks,

greg k-h
