Subject: ignoring unimplemented functions that are old and crusty on shiny new ports

would it be possible to get the class of "old and crusty" functions
permanently ignored ?  i'm thinking of course of "uselib" and "sysfs" ...
Blackfin does not implement either of these and i think that's a good thing
