bb7ca747f8 backlight: add backlight type
There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given
machine.  Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are
providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy
decisions.

This patch adds event notification support to the generic
thermal sysfs framework in the kernel. The notification is in the
form of a netlink event.

819bfecc4f rename new rfkill sysfs knobs
This patch renames the (never officially released) sysfs-knobs
"blocked_hw" and "blocked_sw" to "hard" and "soft", as the hardware vs
software conotation is misleading.

It also gets rid of not needed locks around u32-read-access.

69c86373c6 Document the rfkill sysfs ABI
This moves sysfs ABI info from Documentation/rfkill.txt to the
ABI subfolder and reformats it.

This also schedules the deprecated sysfs parts to be removed in
2012 (claim file) and 2014 (state file).

e7c84ee22b mm: document /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX
Add a bare description of what /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX is.  Others
will follow in time but right now, none of that tree is documented.  The
existence of this file might at least encourage people to document new
entries.

Date and KernelVersion may be wrong because the backlight
interface was introduced before git initial import.

52f7c21b61 ocfs2: Move /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb
/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects.

Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain
backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After
some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds
documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb
is used for.
