Please don't force sysfs on people. Just watch how it keels over and dies
when you end up with lots of disks/network interfaces on reasonably sized
boxes. 16 statically allocated files per network interface starts being
a problem once you've got a few thousand interfaces. Anything that forces
me to use sysfs is not gonna fly.
