This patch set moves several interfaces in the visorchipset module from procfs
to sysfs, and removes the remaining proc interfaces from the module. It includes
documentation for the new interfaces in Documentation/ABI, and some code cleanup
in the new sysfs handler functions.

In version 3 of the set, an unused second parameter was removed from the
chipsetready attribute, and the parahotplug interface was split into two
separate attributes. Additional documentation has been added to the ABI doc
file to describe the use of these interfaces. Formatting mistakes were corrected
and sysfs attribute functions were made static to match their prototypes.

In version 2 of the set, extraneous checks for controlvm_channel pointer 
validity were removed, all newly created attributes use DEVICE_ATTR_RW or 
DEVICE_ATTR_WO, and logging was removed from the show and store functions to 
prevent creating a DOS attack possibility.
