    That's it, right there. Any idea how much we've bloated the kernel with
    sysfs, just by insisting that the struct device not be the first item in
    the struct? There's any number of 2- and 3- line functions calling each
    other, each adding and subtracting constants from the pointers passed to
    them. This was a huge mistake, IMO.
