now, but this make it possible to add more feature types without
increasing the code complexity beyond reason. Define constants and use
them to make the code even easier to understand.
If anyone is really worried about the relatively large memory
allocation, one way to improve the situation would be a two-pass
approach. But remember the memory is only needed for a short time...

class device directory rather than directly in the device directory.
The latter is what all drivers do at the moment, but in the long run
the former is preferred as it prevents attribute name collisions.

guessing it from how the device identifier looks like. For kernels
<= 2.6.17, we use the bus symlink instead. For kernels <= 2.6.11,
neither symlink exist so we fallback to the old type guessing
approach. It doesn't really matter as all hwmon devices were
i2c devices back then.

Instead, access sysfs directly, using 3 embedded helper
functions. My motivations for doing this are:
* As far as I know, libsysfs is no longer maintained.
* libsysfs does much more than we need. For example, when asking for a
device attribute list, libsysfs will read the contents and permissions
of all attributes. Not only does this waste CPU cycles per se, but in
the case of hwmon driver it also triggers register reads, which can be
slow for SMBus chips.
* libsysfs enforces the difference between devices and class devices,
while future changes will be easier if we can handle both types alike.

simply ignore the errors. In debug mode, call sensors_fatal_error().
As a side note, there is certainly room for improvement in the way
errors are reported by libsensors. sensors_fatal_error() is fatal,
and sensors_parse_error() is too specific, so we lack a more general
error reporting function. printf-like formatting for error messages
would also be a good idea.

Rename SENSORS_ERR_PROC to the more neutral SENSORS_ERR_KERNEL.
Introduce SENSORS_ERR_NO_DEVS for finer-grained error reporting.
Use SENSORS_ERR_KERNEL and SENSORS_ERR_NO_DEVS where appropriate.
No error message for invalid error codes.

for faster main features lookup. One side effect of this change is
that subfeatures can no longer have labels nor be ignored. I do not
think that this is a problem in practice, and actually this makes a
lot of sense.

standard sysfs interface. I don't think it makes much sense to
display the offset values as part of the output of "sensors" (it
would even probably confuse people) but having support for these
in libsensors makes it possible to adjust the offsets in
sensors.conf, which is convenient.
This closes ticket #2248.

* We don't need to compute the mapping during the first pass: this
field is overwritten when renumbering the features anyway.
* Only main features have features mapping to them.
* Only subfeatures have mappings, so we can stop the scan at the next
main feature.

from its type, there's no need to store this scaling factor. We can
instead compute it at runtime. This saves some memory (about 10 kB
in my real-world test), and the runtime overhead is totally
negligible.
