8a25a2fd126c621f44f3aeaef80d51f00fc11639 is the first bad commit
commit 8a25a2fd126c621f44f3aeaef80d51f00fc11639
Author: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@...y.org>
Date:   Wed Dec 21 14:29:42 2011 -0800

    cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem
    
    This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
    and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
    implemented as subsystem interfaces now.
    
    After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
    sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.
    
    Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
    from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.
