[PATCH] Driver core: add proper symlinks for devices

Browse Source 
We need to create the "compatible" symlinks that class_devices used to
create when they were in the class directories so that userspace does
not know anything changed at all.

Yeah, we have a lot of symlinks now, but we should be able to get rid of
them in a year or two... (wishful thinking...)
