It is present on Gentoo, which ships old 2.6.11 headers. I couldn't find it in OpenSUSE's packages. Anyway, this specific header is definitely going away from the official list of exported kernel headers, because it shouldn't have been there in the first place, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204538 and http://kerneltrap.org/node/6536 What is the function that you need from linux/sys.h?
