Hook a brother up already. Thanks James and Erich for your great work in getting this driver ready for inclusion and making sure it will be in 2.6.19. It will be nice to not have to apply the patch to every kernel I build!

The idea of sysfs files is that the file name is the description and the contents is a simple value. Fix up arcmsr to conform to this standard.
