Al Viro has asked that sysfs conversions such as this be placed on hold
until we sort through the newly-added bugs arising from the sysfsification
of netdevs and request queues.  

So yeah, do the work, but please make sure that you understand what went

addresses those problems.  Preferably in the same way...
