3282570990 driver core: Remove redundant license text
Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner.  So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text.  And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.

No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

989d42e85d driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files
It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

1b6bc32f0a drivers/base: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE as required.
Most of these files were implicitly getting EXPORT_SYMBOL via
device.h which was including module.h, but that path will be broken
soon.

2d72fc00a1 kobject: convert /sys/hypervisor to use kobject_create
We don't need a kset here, a simple kobject will do just fine, so
dynamically create the kobject and use it.

We also rename hypervisor_subsys to hypervisor_kset to catch all users
of the variable.

3514faca19 kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset
We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Nasty bug in the block code was found by Dave Young

4039483fd3 [PATCH] Driver Core: Add /sys/hypervisor when needed
To have a home for all hypervisors, this patch creates /sys/hypervisor.
A new config option SYS_HYPERVISOR is introduced, which should to be set
by architecture dependent hypervisors (e.g. s390 or Xen).
