Good proposal, and after quick test to migrate sysfsutils to
util-linux this seems
do-able. But before proceeding any further I want to hear from Karel and old
sysfsutils maintainer if the project merge what is wanted.

  git://github.com/kerolasa/lelux-utiliteetit.git sysfsutils

If yes next steps:

1. polish libsysfs, add for example .sym file
2. polish systool, add translations, and other standard util-linux
conventions, such as atexit hook, xmalloc usage, and so on
3. figure out what should be done with dlist_test, get_device,
get_driver, and get_module
4. add tests, and make _PART_SYS_SYSTEM stuff work
5. without a doubt something other as well
6. send a pull month or two later
