From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com>

o This patch implements the sysfs_dir_operations file_operations strucutre for 
  sysfs directories. It uses the sysfs_dirent based tree for ->readdir() and 
  ->lseek() methods instead of simple_dir_operations which use dentry based 
  tree.

o This also has the code for sysfs_get() and sysfs_put() which manipulates
  the reference counting for for sysfs_dirents.
