Hi, Andrew,

Do you think my patch below is better?

Thanks!

-------------> Introduce a new Kconfig CONFIG_NUMA_SYSFS for drivers/base/node.c
which just provides sysfs interface, so that when we select
CONFIG_NUMA, we don't have to enable the sysfs interface too.

This by the way fixes a randconfig build error when NUMA && !SYSFS.
