[Sorry, I sent a patch with TABs translated into spaces.] [1/3] Add a private data field within kobj_attribute structure.
This patch add a private data field, declared as void *, within kobj_attribute structure. Anyone wants to use sysfs can store their private data to refer at _show() and _store() method. It enables to share a single method function with several similar entries, like ones to export the list of capabilities the running kernel supported.
