    Merge tag 'driver-core-3.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
    
    Pull driver core / sysfs patches from Greg KH:
     "Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.
    
      There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
      allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
      attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
      removal as needed / unneeded, etc)
    
      This is primarily being done for the cgroups filesystem, but the goal
      is to also move debugfs to it when it is ready, solving all of the
      known issues in that filesystem as well.  The code isn't completed
      yet, but all should be stable now (there is a big section that was
      reverted due to problems found when testing)
    
      There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
      allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be
      using soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier)
    
      All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues"
