* UIO: fix kobject usageGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The uio kobject code is "wierd". This patch should hopefully fix it up to be sane and not leak memory anymore.

* kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct ksetGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has. This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

* UIO: Add the User IO core codeHans J. Koch2007-07-18
This interface allows the ability to write the majority of a driver in userspace with only a very small shell of a driver in the kernel itself. It uses a char device and sysfs to interact with a userspace process to process interrupts and control memory accesses. See the docbook documentation for more details on how to use this interface.
