HOTPLUG replated patches

Hi all,

I haven't been closely following things, but is there any reason that a
large number of these CONFIG_HOTPLUG and __dev* patches are being merged
via the driver-core tree rather than through the relevant maintainers
trees? They aren't particularly urgent as far as I can see.  And they
already have, and probably will, cause unnecessary conflicts between
trees.

I merged the ones that were acked by the subsystem maintainer through my
driver-core tree.  Others are coming in through the subsystem
maintainer's trees, as they have applied them there.

So it's a mix, depending on the subsystem maintainer's wishes.

And yes, it's going to be a bunch of trivial merge issues, sorry about
that, I don't know of any other way at the moment to deal with that.

thanks,
