	    [PATCH] Add kernel<->userspace ABI stability documentation

And Kay and I have been saying to not to rely on directories for over
two years now...

Anyway, yes, older code should still "just work" if you enable the
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED config option in the kernel, that is what it is
there for.

If you have any problems with that option enabled, please let me know
and I will be glad to fix it up.

thanks,
