Here are a bunch of Driver core, sysfs, and driver model patches for 2.6.20-git
They include the conversion of the network drivers to use 'struct device' instead of 'struct class' (the patch has been in -mm for over 6 months and was acked by David Miller) some module sysfs additions to make userspace tools simpler, and lots of cleanups and fixes. See the full log below for details. All of these have been in the -mm tree for quite a while.
