No, that's all ok, but I don't think people (will) realise that wext has
influence into sysfs. Actually, it isn't created by wext-common but
net/core/net-sysfs.c so we'll have to actually make that create all the
stuff with wext-compat too. Which again sucks but may work out
differently after all if James makes wext-compat use wext.
