[PATCH] remove CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT option

[PATCH] remove CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT option

It makes zero sense to have hotplug, but not the netlink
events enabled today. Remove this option and merge the
kobject_uevent.h header into the kobject.h header file.

- The goal of the kernel userspace events layer is to provide a simple

- events instead of polling system devices and files.
- Hotplug events (kobject addition and removal) are also available on

- CONFIG_HOTPLUG is enabled.
