The patch looks good to me, except I'd really rename this to
'sysfs_tag_eq'.  Calling it 'cmp', returning 't1!=t2', then checking for
!sysfs_tag_cmp really increases the amount of thinking i have to do to
make sure everything is kosher :)

Maybe it's just me.

thanks,

I just wanted to have sysfs_tag_cmp returning zero when sysfs is 
disabled in order to be consistent with other functions.

But if that hurts, I can change that to something more mindless.

Thanks for looking at the patch.
