Subject: Outdated sysfs.txt document?

Hi,

I have been going through Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt, and
noticed what I believe to be either outdated or incomplete:

The "Top Level Directory Layout" mentions
block/
bus/
class/
dev/
devices/
firmware/
net/
fs/

We seem to be missing kernel, power, hypervisor, module, etc.

dave@cowboy:~$ ls /sys/
block class devices fs kernel power
bus dev firmware hypervisor module

I am preparing a patch to complete this, but could someone confirm first
that this is actually what is meant.

Thanks,
Davidlohr

Any reason you didn't send this to the current sysfs maintainer?

It would be nice to have it match up to reality, Documentation usually
lags.
