  given that driverfs has, for quite some time, been superseded by
sysfs, i did a quick global replacement in the entire source tree:

  s/driverfs/sysfs/g

just to see what would happen and, amazingly, the result after "make
allyesconfig" seems to be building.

  this doesn't mean that every instance of that replacement is
entirely meaningful -- perhaps some comments are now a bit off-kilter
-- but it *does* seem to suggest that every last vestige of driverfs
can now finally be thrown out and the kernel will still build.

  i've attached the patch against the latest git pull.  any thoughts?
thanks.
