sysfs: Initialization order and system devices

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 747 bytes --]

With the current system device changes (I picked them up in 2.5.70-mm8),
the system device class assumes that all system device drivers are
registered before any system devices are registered.

Unfortunately, this is often not the case.  CPU devices are registered
very early, but cpufreq registers drivers for them; since cpufreq
drivers can be loaded as modules, they clearly can't be registered
before the device is.

This patch keeps a list of all registered devices hanging off the system
device class.  When a new driver is registered, it calls the driver's
add() function with all existing devices.

Conversely, when a driver is unregistered, it calls the driver's
remove() function for all existing devices so the driver can clean up.

Sysdev assumes that all device drivers will be added before any
devices are actually registered.  This doesn't take into account that
some devices are added very early (cpu), but drivers for them may be
added later in boot, or even as a loaded module (cpufreq).

This patch adds a list of all existing devices to each class.  When a
driver is added to a class, it is told about all existing devices.

It also calls the driver's remove function for each device when the
driver unregisters itself.
