Cool. That sounds good. Nice work. Thanks.

Adding Greg, so he's in the loop.

Greg, Andi's upcoming CPU modaliases are temporarily hooked into the
'cpuid' class devices to make them work with userspace, which isn't
possible with the weird sysdev stuff.

We don't want to depend on the 'cpuid' class, but hook into the real
'cpu' subsystem. This switches them over after we have the
sysdev-cpu-conversion stuff merged.

Ok, but what does this mean now for my tree as I've taken your patches?


If I understand Kay right it means that once this tree and the patches from Kay are both upstream we can apply the cleanup patch.

Kay, is that correct?
