Kobject: the cris iop_fw_load.c code is broken
This code is really really really broken. So much so that it's almost
impossible to fix with a simple patch, so just comment out the offending
registration with the kobject core, and mark the driver as broken.
The problem is that the code is trying to register a "raw" struct
device, which is not allowed. struct device is only for use within the
driver model. This is being done to try to use the firmware layer which
wants a struct device. To properly fix this, use something easy, like a
platform device, which is a struct device and can be used for this kind
of thing.

kobject: convert s390 ipl.c to kobj_attr interface
This makes the code a bit simpler and and gets us one step closer to
deleting the deprecated subsys_attr code.
NOTE, this needs the next patch in the series in order to work properly.
This will build, but the sysfs files will not properly operate.
Thanks to Cornelia for the build fix on this patch.

fix struct user_info export's sysfs interaction
Clean up the use of ksets and kobjects. Kobjects are instances of
objects (like struct user_info), ksets are collections of objects of a
similar type (like the uids directory containing the user_info directories).
So, use kobjects for the user_info directories, and a kset for the "uids"
directory.
On object cleanup, the final kobject_put() was missing.
