Great!

I was at first trying to convert sysfs interface to not use kobject
but that caused too much disruption and I'm now trying to separate out
the core functionality into a separate filesystem - currently named
kernfs, so sysfs will be a consumer of kernfs translating between
kobject and kernfs interface, and cgroup will be the second user which
replaces its own pseudo filesystem implementation with kernfs.
Thanks a lot.
