First of all sorry for the late answer.

My intention is to get the compile error fixed, and I don't care that
much how it gets fixed.

OTOH, there's the question whether it matters at all - is the
intersection of the people who are in such space-limited environments
that they are setting CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y and then CONFIG_SYSFS=n and
the people using OCFS2 actually non-empty?
