Care to go for v5?  This doesn't apply on my tree anymore, I'm pretty
sure due to the other fixes in fs/sysfs/dir.c.

I tried to do the merge myself, but I don't think I got it right at all,
so could you just check out my driver-core.git tree on the
driver-core-next branch and refresh this patch?

thanks so much, I've applied the other 8 patches in this series already,
they seem fine.
