The kheaders archive is exposed through SYSFS in /sys/kernel/. Make it
depend on SYSFS as it makes no sense to enable this feature without it.

And, it also makes no sense to break the feature by 1/3,
then fix it by 3/3.


Why don't you squash this?

I agree, this belongs in patch 1/3.

Fine with me. The reason I split it this way is I already had posted 1/3
recently for the driver tree [1], and I did not want to confuse Greg since he
was in the process of picking it up [2].

Anyway, I can resend the series soon with 1/3 and 3/3 squashed unless anyone
applying this is Ok with squashing it in their trees. thanks!
