Status     : unknown

I really think this is a CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED issue (not being set),
but want to get Matt confirm either way before saying this is a real
issue or not.

I just tested on my quad powermac that also runs a stock Debian/unstable
and changing that option makes all the difference. Nevermind that it
defaults to yes and one needs to turn it off explicitly...
