+ *
+ * This routine is usually called via the inline device_schedule_callback(),
+ * which automatically sets @owner to THIS_MODULE.
+ *
+ * Returns 0 if the request was submitted, -ENOMEM if storage could not
+ * be allocated, -ENODEV if a reference to @owner isn't available.
+ *
+ * NOTE: This routine won't work if CONFIG_SYSFS isn't set! It uses an
+ * underlying sysfs routine (since it is intended for use by attribute
+ * methods), and if sysfs isn't available you'll get nothing but -ENOSYS.
