[Pvfs2-developers] Latest kernel missing class_device_create

[Phil Carns]

Whoops, I had to back out my version of that change too- it caused a 
segfault on 2.6.24.  It might require some more careful modifications.

Do you need this class support specifically?  The kernel module should 
compile ok without it, as far as I know.
