Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Fix ambiguous parsing of *node* entries in /sys.

The code used to use strstr(..., "node") while iterating over
sysfs directories such as /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*.
It then made an assumption that the entry would start with "node",
which is not necessarily the case (e.g. the "firmware_node" entry).

The code happened to work for as long as the node[0-9]* entry
would be processed before the "firmware_node" entry shows up.

A change to the linux kernel "end_name_hash" function resulted
in a different hash, and ultimately in a different order
by which entries were returned by readdir(3).

This led to the exposure of this bug.
