PCI/IB: add support for pci driver attribute groups
Some drivers (specifically the nes IB driver), want to create a lot of sysfs driver attributes. Instead of open-coding the creation and removal of these files (and getting it wrong btw), it's a better idea to let the driver core handle all of this logic for us. So add a new field to the pci driver structure, **groups, that allows pci drivers to specify an attribute group list it wishes to have created when it is registered with the driver core. Big bonus is now the driver doesn't race with userspace when the sysfs files are created vs. when the kobject is announced, so any script/tool that actually wanted to use these files will not have to poll waiting for them to show up.
