18 * This module shows how to create a kset in sysfs called
19 * /sys/kernel/kset-example
20 * Then tree kobjects are created and assigned to this kset, "foo", "baz",
21 * and "bar". In those kobjects, attributes of the same name are also
22 * created and if an integer is written to these files, it can be later
23 * read out of it.
28 * This is our "object" that we will create a few of and register them with
29 * sysfs.
