After Alan pointed out my stupidity, here are some new patches :)
They add three new functions:
kobject_init_ng()
kobject_add_ng()
kobject_init_and_add()
The "_ng" portion will go away after all of the current kernel users of
kobject_init() and kobject_add() are converted
This is what the kobject_init function is going to become. Add it to
the kernel and then we can convert over the current kobject_init() users
before renaming it.
Also add a kobject_init_and_add function which bundles up what a lot of
the current callers want to do all at once, and it properly

Hello!
The rcu_assign_pointer() primitive currently unconditionally executes
a memory barrier, even when a NULL pointer is being assigned. This
has lead some to avoid using rcu_assign_pointer() for NULL pointers,
which loses the self-documenting advantages of rcu_assign_pointer()

git blame fingered commit id efe870f9 (from Larry) for adding a couple
of fairly harmless looking messages to
net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c . The problem is that one
