Subject: 2.6.27-rc6-mmotm0913 build error - fs-sysfs-dirc-remove-unused-__sysfs_get_dentry.patch

Trying to build 2.6.27-rc6-mmotm0913 dies a horrid death:

  CC      fs/sysfs/dir.o
fs/sysfs/dir.c: In function âsysfs_mv_dirâ:
fs/sysfs/dir.c:993: error: implicit declaration of function â__sysfs_get_dentryâ
fs/sysfs/dir.c:993: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
make[2]: *** [fs/sysfs/dir.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [fs/sysfs] Error 2
make: *** [fs] Error 2


Diagnosis: Andrew added fs-sysfs-dirc-remove-unused-__sysfs_get_dentry.patch,
but somebody (Eric? was touching a lot of sysfs) in linux-next.patch added a
new user in sysfs_mv_dir.

Looks like people need to get on the same page about that patch?
