Leaving kobject_actions[] in kobject_uevent.c, but putting it outside
the #ifdef looks indeed like the best solution to me. This way, we
avoid adding #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG into core.c, when all other
functions called do not need such a thing.

This allows the uevent file to handle any type of uevent action to be
triggered by userspace instead of just the "add" uevent.

Rather than using a tri-state integer for the wait flag in
call_usermodehelper_exec, define a proper enum, and use that.  I've
preserved the integer values so that any callers I've missed should
still work OK.

Collapses a do..while() loop within an if() to a simple while() loop for 
simplicity and readability.

  - uses a kset in "struct class" to keep track of all directories
    belonging to this class
  - merges with the /sys/devices/virtual logic.
  - removes the namespace-dir if the last member of that class
    leaves the directory.

There may be locking or refcounting fixes left, I stopped when it seemed
to work with network and sound modules. :)

Switch cb_lock to mutex and allow netlink kernel users to override it
with a subsystem specific mutex for consistent locking in dump callbacks.
All netlink_dump_start users have been audited not to rely on any
side-effects of the previously used spinlock.

Since kobject_uevent() function does not return an integer value to
indicate if its operation was completed with success or not, it is worth
changing it in order to report a proper status (success or error) instead
of returning void.

Provide a function device_move() to move a device to a new parent device. Add
auxilliary functions kobject_move() and sysfs_move_dir().
kobject_move() generates a new uevent of type KOBJ_MOVE, containing the
previous path (DEVPATH_OLD) in addition to the usual values. For this, a new
interface kobject_uevent_env() is created that allows to add further
environmental data to the uevent at the kobject layer.

Remove uevent dock notifications.  There are no consumers
of these events at present, and uevents are likely not the
correct way to send this type of event anyway.

Until I get some kind of idea if anyone in userspace cares
about dock events, I will just not send any.
