I think it's going be useful in general. If not, we can just drop it.

That sounds like a good plan.

Hmm, yes. I think you're right.

Correct, I'll fix the comments.

Well, in fact if we get to the callback and it doesn't exist, that will be a
bug. So, I think it's a good idea to return error code in such a case.

Some thoughts, yes. As for an implementation, I'd like to wait until at least
one bus type uses the framework.

Thanks for your comments.

Well, in fact I have already pushed all of the changes I wanted in 2.6.31.
Also, I'd like to receive some comments on the $subject patch from the other
people.
That said, the merge window is still open, so if the comments are supportive
and there's a chance to put the final version into linux-next for a couple of
days before the merge window ends, I may try to push it to Linus. After all,
the patch is not going to introduce any regressions. ;-)
Best,
Rafael
