[jvinet@mars jvinet]$ pacman -Ql filesystem | grep /sys
filesystem /sys/


It's part of the filesystem package already.

mount -n -t sysfs /sys /sys

is needed in the start sequence (e.g. from rc.sysinit) to make it working properly

and a fstab-entry is also needed
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

The /sys entry is in the default /etc/fstab already. It is commented out by default, but the installer will uncomment it if the user installs a 2.6.x kernel.

The explicit mount command is not needed, since the "mount -a" command would come right after it and mount /sys anyway (provided there is a /sys entry in fstab).
