Hi Greg,

Would you consider a patch such as the one below which adds support for
sysdev class attributes?  I would like to have this for doing cpu add
and remove on ppc64 (for "probing" and removing cpus on partitioned
machines).  I think the memory hotplug people probably will want it,
too, eventually.
