To make it easier for driver subsystems to work with attribute groups,Forgot to add this trivial little cleanup patch with my previous mail, I know you don't like patch dependancies, but this one depends on the previous one as that included stat.h, if you decide my previous patch isn't good, i can redo this one with stat.h included (and move atomic.h to the top to keep includes alphabetically ordered).
create the ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS macro to remove some of the repetitive
typing for the most common use for attribute groups.
