One of the roles which -mm fulfilled some time ago (to offer an
integration testing ground) has been taken over by -next.  This is still
news to Documentation/HOWTO, so mention it there.

Also add a word on how patchwork is used to track patches as they make
their way into subsystem trees.  Remove some arbitrary links to
subsystem repositories; they can all be found in the MAINTAINERS

Constify struct kset_uevent_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

When sysfs_readdir stops short we now cache the next
sysfs_dirent to return to user space in filp->private_data.
There is no impact on the rest of sysfs by doing this and
in the common case it allows us to pick up exactly where
we left off with no seeking.

Additionally I drop and regrab the sysfs_mutex around
filldir to avoid a page fault abritrarily increasing the
hold time on the sysfs_mutex.

v2: Returned to using INT_MAX as the EOF condition.
    seekdir is ambiguous unless all directory entries have
    a unique f_pos value.

A lot of drivers add list of attributes, so it's better to do

The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the
kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it.  If the creation
fails, it remove the kobject from the kset.  get_device_parent()
accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to
see whether the cuse class dir exists.  But when it exists, it may not
have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon.  In
the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying
to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent.

Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().
