Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][XM-TEST] Add mounting /sys to ramdisk

Great, thanks for the reply. I was not inferring any thing on the
requirement of mounting sysfs, just trying to understand if there was
another method of checking for sysfs prior to the mount.

And the one that came from the list was what I was looking for.

==================
And there's grep sysfs /proc/filesystems (|| modprobe -q sysfs, if
compile-as-module is ever added to sysfs).
===================

Thanks Dan, thanks for the patch.
