    cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem · 8a25a2fd
    Kay Sievers authored
    This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
    and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
    implemented as subsystem interfaces now.
    
    After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
    sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.
    
    Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
    from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.
