[PATCH,RFC 3/3] scripts/setlocalversion: Fix false positive -dirty tag caused by make-kpkg

If git's index file is out of date, and some files have been touched such that their timestamp doesn't what is in the index, "git diff-index HEAD" may show that a particular file is dirty, when in fact it really isn't. Running "git status" will update the index to avoid these false positives.

[PATCH 01/54] ecryptfs: clean up attribute mess

It isn't that hard to add simple kset attributes, so don't go through all the gyrations of creating your own object type and show and store functions. Just use the functions that are already present. This makes things much simpler. Note, the version_str string violates the "one value per file"

[PATCH 02/54] KOBJECT: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has. This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay
