Hm, are you sure you applied them and are using that kernel? :)

/sys/class should look something like this:

$ tree /sys/class/
/sys/class/
|-- cpu
| `-- cpu0
| |-- device -> ../../../devices/sys/cpu0
| `-- foo
|-- input
`-- tty
|-- console0
| `-- dev
|-- ptmx0
| `-- dev
|-- pts0
| `-- dev
|-- pts1
| `-- dev
|-- pts2
| `-- dev
|-- pts3
| `-- dev
|-- pts4
| `-- dev
|-- pts5
| `-- dev
|-- pts6
| `-- dev
|-- pts7
| `-- dev
|-- pty0
| `-- dev
|-- pty1
| `-- dev
... and so on...

thanks,
