SubjectRe: 2.6.6-bk9 - compile failure if sysfs disabled

Please check your favorite lkml archive for the patch.

| Now, before anyone chides me for blindly disabling sysfs, I only came across this in helping someone else, who erroneously disabled it, solve this build failure :-)

| My apologies if this is already known or expected. It just seems to me that it ought not to end in a build failure and is possibly something you folks would like to know about.

| Note that I'm not saying this started in -bk9 because I've never previously compiled one without sysfs. This is, however, what the original user was building.

BTW, please tell your sylpheed client to wrap lines around 70 characters
each instead of flowing them longer.
