AFAICT sysfs itself sort of has this problem in 2.5.66 -- it tries
to register itself as a filesystem before the set 'fs' is registered.
It retries later and succeeds but I could never figure out if that was
by design or accident. 8)
This patch helps find some of these problems but I don't think it will
help in this case:
