This is not how to use sysfs, sorry.  We do NOT use it for "feature
flags" like this.

Userspace should do something else to determine if the feature is there
or not, or just default to "do not allow" if it can not figure it out.

sorry, but this change is not ok.
Thanks for explaining this. I'll find a way to make it work in userspace.
