Subject: 2.6.18-rc5-mm1: sysfs_init() related compile error

I'm getting the following compile error on h8300:

<--  snip  -->

The problem is a merge conflict since both git-block.patch and 
gregkh-driver-sysfs-add-proper-sysfs_init-prototype.patch added
sysfs_init() prototypes and CONFIG_SYSFS=n dummmies to sysfs.h .

The git-block.patch version lacks the __must_check annotation.

       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
