<title>Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type</title>

Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's
kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with
kobject_put().

Stop using kobject_register, as this way we can control the sending of
the uevent properly, after everything is properly initialized.

There is no firmware "subsystem" it's just a directory in /sys that
other portions of the kernel want to hook into.  So make it a kobject
not a kset to help alivate anyone who tries to do some odd kset-like
things with this.

<title>kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset</title>

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Nasty bug in the block code was found by Dave Young
