See the other threads: you need at least 4.9.79 for the /sys bits.

I'm surprised I missed those threads, I read all messages on here.
According to the thread I found it's actually starts on 4.9.77, I'm just
on the latest stable (.76).
During "special emergencies" like this one, it would be a good idea to
use the latest 4.9.x, regardless of whether portage marked it "stable"
or not. At least for a while and until the situation has settled down again.
