That shouldn't be needed, right?

You're right. They are not needed.
Please disregard that part.


Looks good. Care to resend it one more time, this time with a good
changelog description and a Signed-off-by: line?

OK, here you are.
The patch is applicable to either 2.6.16-rc6 or 2.6.16-rc6-mm1.

Thanks,

Moving uevent_seqnum and uevent_helper to kobject_uevent.c
because they are used even if CONFIG_SYSFS=n
while kernel/ksysfs.c is built only if CONFIG_SYSFS=y,
