Nice idea.  It will make testing easier for lots of people.

But, Kay and I just changed the logic in the kernel in this area,
getting rid of the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option entirely, to try to
make the code path smaller, only offering the "old" mode for block
devices, to keep kernels booting on userspace instances like what you
have.

So, could you respin this patch against the linux-next tree which has
Kay's patch in it?  Or, if it's easier, I've attached the patch below.
