Can't say I like the fact that the is_visible function needs is
per-group and not per attribute and thus needs to explicitly check
which attribute we call it for, but that seems to be a design issue in
the driver core and not the patch.

Otherwise looks good with the minor nitpick that it would have looked
cleaner in the patch if you had left the queue_type store function
in the location it previously was.
