/proc/sys/dev/cdrom missing

I was just reading cdrom.c, when I saw there should be a file
/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info, listing information about the CD drives (like
whether door locking is supported, drive speed etc.).

My /proc/sys/dev is empty.

The strings I would expect ("CD-ROM information", "drive name:", "drive
speed:" etc.) are present in the kernel image.

I'm using kernel 2.1.105, and the IDE CD driver is compiled in (not a
module). Perhaps there's something up with the initialisation order?
