Component Type: kbuild config

Description: Enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools

More info: This option adds code that switches the layout of the "block" class devices, to not show up in /sys/class/block/, but only in /sys/block/. This switch is only active when the sysfs.deprecated=1 boot option is passed or the SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is set. This option allows new kernels to run on old distributions and tools, which might get confused by /sys/class/block/. Since 2007/2008 all major distributions and tools handle this just fine. Recent distributions and userspace tools after 2009/2010 depend on the existence of /sys/class/block/, and will not work with this option enabled. Only if you are using a new kernel on an old distribution, you might need to say Y here.
