Makes my FC6 test box not boot - can't find /dev/root. Then when I go
back to plain old mainline (2.6.35-rc5) and run `make oldconfig', the
.config change sticks:

@@ -106,8 +106,7 @@
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=17
CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK=y
# CONFIG_CGROUPS is not set
-CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
-CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y
+# CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 is not set
CONFIG_RELAY=y
CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
# CONFIG_UTS_NS is not set

and the box still won't boot.
