That's right, like /proc is a proc file system, /sys is a sysfs file
system (similar to other pseudo file systems). They are memory based
and files are generated on access, proc files mostly directly from
kernel data structures, and sysfs mostly from an rb-tree data structure
within the sysfs file system populated at boot.

You must mount /sys as a sysfs file system in order for the rb-tree
to be populated, you can't make it a btrfs file system (or any other
file system for that matter).
