Driver core patches for 3.11-rc1

Here's the big driver core merge for 3.11-rc1
 
 Lots of little things, and larger firmware subsystem updates, all
 described in the shortlog.  Nice thing here is that we finally get rid
 of CONFIG_HOTPLUG, after 10+ years, thanks to Stephen Rohtwell (it had
 been always on for a number of kernel releases, now it's just removed.)
