Okay, another difference, so things under /sys/devices generate
uevents and can thus be configured on boot or dynamically as the nodes
are created, which doesn't work for other /sys directories and
top-level directories take more boilerplate code. Maybe the right
thing to do is moving /sys/kernel under /sys/devices and making
/sys/kernel a symlink? It kinda sucks that the whole thing sits
outside the usual notification mechanism.

Thanks.
