[PATCH] udev - switch SYSFS_file to SYSFS{file}
Here we switch the configs and man pages to the new attribute syntax. Also the 'partition trick' is mentioned in udev.8 I think it's more clear visible now, that inside the brackets are user supplied values used and not some magic keys handled: 'SYSFS_dev' is now 'SYSFS{dev}' The old syntax is still supported.
