The existing sysfs interface has been updated to be in the same format
as described in Documentation/ABI/README. This will be useful for
scripting and tracking changes in the ABI. Attributes have been grouped
by functionality and/or the date on which they were added.

There are a couple of more changes:
- The attributes have been annotated with file permissions RO/RW/WO.
- Added description of the bus attribute supported_features

"This file" indeed was moved once, but at some point "this file", the
top-level README, becomes a file in itself. Now that time has come :)

Let's describe how things are, and suggest reading "this file" first,
"this file" simply being a the admin-guide README file, not a file that
was once moved.

I think we need to soften the language a bit.  It might scare folks
off, especially the:

	 We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible.

which is not really the case.  Linus says:

	It's not full disclosure, it's not coordinated disclosure,
	and it's not "no disclosure".  It's more like just "timely
	open fixes".

I changed a bit of the wording in here, but mostly to remove the word
"disclosure" since it seems to mean very specific things to people
that we do not mean here.
