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. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
