Is it really a good idea to create a dependency to some virtual file
system which may go away in future?
From time to time some of those seem to go away, for example devfs.
Is it really unavoidable to have something in sysfs, something which is
really not possible with ioctls?
And do you really want to depend on sysfs developers?
