Subject: [RFC] kobject_init changes - take 2

After Alan pointed out my stupidity, here are some new patches :)

They add three new functions:
	kobject_init_ng()
	kobject_add_ng()
	kobject_init_and_add()

The "_ng" portion will go away after all of the current kernel users of
kobject_init() and kobject_add() are converted over.

There's also a second patch that shows how they are used, and how this
actually saves code in the callers.

Any further objections about these changes?

thanks,

greg k-h
