Hans, Greg,
I appreciate the chance to discuss this change with you. I do understand your
point of view, and I can see how libUIO navigates sysfs from userspace
to figure out what's there.
Unfortunately I am not in a position to mandate the inclusion of sysfs in our
deployment, and Linux UIO has a dependency on sysfs to be usable.
I had hoped to stay within the confines of the mainline, but for now
we'll have to tolerate a local patch.
Earl
