Can you please redo this against linux-next?

That tree contains a number of directly conflicting changes.  In
particular, linux-next introduces alternate implementations of
show_##name and show_##name##_list in topology.c and from a quick peek,
your change could make them go away again.

Please also enhance the changelog so we have some idea of why you're
actually doing all this.  What do we gain?  Does it fix a bug?  If so,
what?  etc.

Thanks.
