Sometimes you want shorter variable names as the created objects in
sysfs, because the 80 columns limit of the kernel source makes long
variable names pretty inconvenient.
And all these decl_* macros, obviously can't create any names that
contain '-', which is pretty annoying. There is also a user in the
experimental patches in Greg's tree. Please leave it there for now.

Thanks,
