On ppc, we got this build error with randconfig:

This is due to that it enabled CONFIG_NUMA but not CONFIG_SYSFS.

And the user-space tool numactl depends on sysfs files too.
So, I think it is very reasonable to make CONFIG_NUMA depend on CONFIG_SYSFS.

Is it? CONFIG_NUMA is useful even without userspace numactl tool, no?

Yes it is. No direct dependency.

I would rather fix it in ppc.

This isn't a ppc-only error.  It happens when CONFIG_PROC_FS is not enabled
(or is it CONFIG_SYSFS?).

I reported it for linux-next of 20110526:

when CONFIG_PROC_FS is not enabled:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `node_read_vmstat':
node.c:(.text+0x56ffa): undefined reference to `vmstat_text'


Right, I believe x86 has the same problem.
