I2O: remove i2o_device_class_interface misuse
The intent of class interfaces was to provide different
'views' at the same object, not just run some code every
time a new class device is registered. Kill interface
structure, make class core register default attributes
and set up sysfs links right when registering class
devices.

I've applied this. I've also cleaned up the class stuff some more and
converted the drivers/message/i2o/iop.c code to use the easier class and
class_device interfaces, as you should not have 2 refcounted structures
trying to control the same overall structure. The i2o device structure
is still like this and remains to be fixed up. If no one does it soon,
I'll clean it up too.

Could you please wait until i supply the patch, if everyone applies patches it's very hard to get those changes and mine together...

And i really don't see that this change is highly critical...

Thank you very much for your understanding...

Best regards,
