Currently /sys/classs holds two classes of entries: hosts and > devs. Are you sure you don't want to get the hosts out of there before software > get written using them and it's too late to move them? And how do you propose doing this? It will take some driver core mangling to do this. And what's really wrong with it? > Is anything already using /class/sys/'host' entries?

Leave this as a 2.7 thing to do if you really don't like it :) thanks, greg k-h
