+	depends on PROC_FS
+	help
+	  For backwards compatibility, this option allows
+          deprecated power /proc/acpi/ directories to exist, even when
+          they have been replaced by functions in /sys.
+          The deprecated directories (and their replacements) include:
+	  /proc/acpi/battery/* (/sys/class/power_supply/*)
+	  /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/* (sys/class/power_supply/*)
+	  This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ directories
+	  and functions, which do not yet exist in /sys
+	  This option, together with the proc directories, will be
+	  deleted in 2.6.39.
+
+	  Say N to delete power /proc/acpi/ directories that have moved to /sys/
