Hi all,

this series signigicantly simplies the mdev driver interface by following
the patterns for device model interaction used elsewhere in the kernel.

Changes since v1:
 - embedd the mdev_parent into a different sub-structure in i916
 - remove headers now inclued by mdev.h from individual source files
 - pass an array of mdev_types to mdev_register_parent
 - add additional patches to implement all attributes on the
   mdev_type in the core code
