Hi all,

this series signigicantly simplies the mdev driver interface by following
the patterns for device model interaction used elsewhere in the kernel.

Changes since v5:
 - rebased to the latest vfio/next branch
 - drop the last patch again
 - make sure show_available_instances works properly for the internallly
   tracked case

Changes since v4:
 - move the kobject_put later in mdev_device_release 
 - add a Fixes tag for the first patch
 - add another patch to remove an extra kobject_get/put

Changes since v3:
 - make the sysfs_name and pretty_name fields pointers instead of arrays
 - add an i915 cleanup to prepare for the above

Changes since v2:
 - rebased to vfio/next
 - fix a pre-existing memory leak in i915 instead of making it worse
 - never manipulate if ->available_instances if drv->get_available is
   provided
 - keep a parent reference for the mdev_type
 - keep a few of the sysfs.c helper function around
 - improve the documentation for the parent device lifetime
 - minor spellig / formatting fixes

Changes since v1:
 - embedd the mdev_parent into a different sub-structure in i916
 - remove headers now inclued by mdev.h from individual source files
 - pass an array of mdev_types to mdev_register_parent
 - add additional patches to implement all attributes on the
   mdev_type in the core code
