- * lookup_one_noperm - bad hack for sysfs

- * @base:       base directory to lookup from
- *
- * This is a variant of lookup_one_len that doesn't perform any permission
- * checks.   It's a horrible hack to work around the braindead sysfs
- * architecture and should not be used anywhere else.

- * DON'T USE THIS FUNCTION EVER, thanks.
