Actually the CONFIG_NET_NS is depending on CONFIG_NET and !CONFIG_SYSFS
In order to disable CONFIG_SYSFS, I must specify CONFIG_EMBEDDED to have
the choice to unset the sysfs.
Why don't we make CONFIG_NET_NS depends on CONFIG_NET and
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED ?

On the other hand the NET_NS doesn't require any deprecated sysfs files, it just can't work at all with the SYSFS turned on. That's why the things look like this.

Once we get the sysfs support merged this restriction will go away but until then attempting to register a two copies of the loopback device with sysfs is fatal.
