   I would actually like to retain sysfs support -- the current
entries may not be used (or useful, or in the right place, or even
visible these days), but there's plenty of things that could and
should go in sysfs from btrfs.

   So, please do remove the unwanted/unused file entries, but could
you leave the sysfs file itself, and the (limited) bits that create
the btrfs subdir? Otherwise, I'm going to be putting it all back in
this weekend when I get the time to revisit Goffredo's old sysfs
patch...

   Thanks,
   Hugo.
