Subject: [PATCH 0/7] General sysfs enhancements


This patchset is built on top of 2.6.33-rc3 +
  "sysfs: Cache the last sysfs_dirent to improve readdir scalability v2"

Greg I assume you have that patch somewhere in queue.

This patchset contains little cleanups all around sysfs.
- Some basic cleanups.
- Some sysfs scaling work 
- Implementation of sysfs_rename

This should be the final patchset before we can seriously look at
network namespace support in sysfs, again.
