sys/deffs.h defines it, if needed, so maybe that=E2=80=99s wise.

Generally, foo(9) is relegated to the kernel. Only in cases where it can =
be
used in user land should it be mentioned, rather than the converse. =
There=E2=80=99s

using it,
we should note it as deprecated instead of leaving it undocumented.
