Don't panic. First thing to try is reenabling CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED.

Driver core: convert block from raw kobjects to core devices

This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a
flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one
directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks
to the disks.

/sys/class/block
