+        The sysfs filesystem is a virtual filesystem that the kernel uses to
+        export internal kernel objects, their attributes, and their
+        relationships to one another.
+
+        Users can use sysfs to ascertain useful information about the running
+        kernel, such as the devices the kernel has discovered on each bus and
+        which driver each is bound to. sysfs can also be used to tune devices
+        and other kernel subsystems.
+
+        Some system agents rely on the information in sysfs to operate.
+        /sbin/hotplug uses device and object attributes in sysfs to assist in
+        delegating policy decisions, like persistently naming devices.
+
+        sysfs is currently used by the block subsystem to mount the root
+        partition.  If sysfs is disabled you must specify the boot device on
+        the kernel boot command line via its major and minor numbers.  For
+        example, "root=03:01" for /dev/hda1.

+        Designers of embedded systems may wish to say N here to conserve space.
