Ok. Here is my respun patchset. I have not changed which files we remove in a directory when we remove a non-empty directory. Leaving that issue to be addressed another time. To accommodate that I have respun two patches: patch 4 sysfs: Normalize removing sysfs directories. patch 15 sysfs: Kill sysfs_addrm_start and sysfs_addrm_finish Killing addrm is only changed to track the previous differences.
