Driver core patches for 3.11-rc1
Here's the big driver core merge for 3.11-rc1
Lots of little things, and larger firmware subsystem updates, all described in the shortlog. Nice thing here is that we finally get rid of CONFIG_HOTPLUG, after 10+ years, thanks to Stephen Rohtwell (it had been always on for a number of kernel releases, now it's just removed.)
