Haiyang is right, accelerated networking won't work if slot is not recorded.

So the original patch (to depend on SYSFS) or using "select SYSFS" is
are necessary.

The whole thing is a bit of "angels dancing on the head of a pin" because
there is no good reason to build kernel without SYSFS in real world.
It would just be looking for trouble. As far as I can tell it is all
about getting "make randconfig" to work in more cases.
