Pull driver core __dev* removal patches - take 3 - from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
"Here are the remaining __dev* removal patches against the 3.8-rc2
tree. All of these patches were previously sent to the subsystem
maintainers, most of them were picked up and pushed to you, but there
were a number that fell through the cracks, and new drivers were added
during the merge window, so this series cleans up the rest of the
instances of these markings.

Third time's the charm...

Fixed up trivial conflict with the pinctrl pull in pinctrl-sirf.c.

Drivers: scsi: remove __dev* attributes.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Pull first round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This patch set includes two large new drivers: mpt3sas (for the next
gen fusion SAS hardware) and csiostor a FCoE offload driver for the
Chelsio converged network cards (this includes some net changes which
I've OK'd with DaveM).

The rest of the patch is driver updates (qla2xxx, lpfc, hptiop,
be2iscsi) plus a few assorted updates and bug fixes.

We also have a Power Management rework in the Upper Layer Drivers
preparatory to doing ACPI zero power optical devices, but the actual
enabler is still being worked on.

These driver files are initially, substantially similar to mpt2sas but,
because mpt2sas is going into maintenance mode and mp3sas will become heavily
