+	  configfs is a ram-based filesystem that provides the converse
+	  of sysfs's functionality. Where sysfs is a filesystem-based
+	  view of kernel objects, configfs is a filesystem-based manager
+	  of kernel objects, or config_items.
+
+	  Both sysfs and configfs can and should exist together on the
+	  same system. One is not a replacement for the other.
