Hello again,

I don't see why these patches can't be applied. The bin attribute group functions standing for themself seem to be useful. The kone driver is already in the stable kernel and has less code with these patches. Though this does not change its functionality its a code cleanup. Thats also true for pyra and koneplus. So for me these are clear improvements until I make progress in the race problem. I will do it, but being a newbe I don't know where to start (feel free to point me to something), so it might take quite some time and sure needs some questions asked.

Have a nice day
Stefan
