Yes. We definitely need to check the removed flag in sysfs_add_one. Regardless of anything else. I need to sleep on this but I am inclined to get rid of the rest of the complications simply by failing the removal of non-empty directories. Going through the upper layers and making them properly responsible for their actions. I am afraid friendlier in this circumstance might equate to easier to misuse and let code bugs pile up.
