Eeek, no, please look at Documentation/kobject.txt that says to not ever
have static kobjects.

I think a lot of this code can be cleaned up and shrunk given the way
that kobjects have changed recently.  See the examples in
samples/kobject/ and the documentation file for more details.

If you have any questions about it, please let me know.

Also, whenever you add a sysfs file to the kernel, please document it in
Documentation/ABI/ so that everyone knows what it is and how to use it.

thanks,
