    x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute · 01e8ef11
    Parag Warudkar authored
    Tejun's commit 7b595756 made sysfs
    attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
    ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
    time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
    a time!
    
    This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
    CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
    as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
    can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
    and boot tested.
    
    akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
    `#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
    new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.
    
    [akpm: remove the ifdef for now]
