Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Allow more than PAGESIZE data read in configfs

Currently, maximum amount of data that can be read from a configfs
attribute file is limited to PAGESIZE bytes. This is a limitation for
some of the usages of configfs.

This patchset removes that limitaion by using seq_file for read operations
instead of using locally allocated buffer.

Tested the interface change with configfs_example.c in the Documentation
directory.
