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. -- tejun
