The first step is the conversion from 'sys_device' to 'device', which is here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kay/patches.git;a=tree That should hit the tree soon, if all works according to plan. All sys_devices and sysdev classes will be gone for forever. The 'class' to 'bus' work is simpler, because the logic in both of them is very similar and both use the same 'struct device' already. We'll need to add some convenience APIs to bus, and add code to make sure the converted stuff has compat symlinks in /sys/class when needed. Then we can convert-over one 'struct class' to 'struct bus_type' after the other until 'struct class' can be deleted. This work has not yet started, because we are busy with the sys_device stuff at the moment. No new stuff should use 'struct class' or 'struct sys_device', they should all start right away with 'struct bus_type'.
