The files beneath "/sys" are like the files beneath "/dev" - they
are kernel generated and not fully real.
You shouldn't attempt to scan them. I believe it should be
OK because I'm assuming that the scan only involves reading from
them not writing to them. Writing to files beneath /proc, or /sys,
can do very weird things to your system.
For example you might disable a network card, enable IP forwarding, or
more!
(It is similar to writing to files in /dev, where you might accidentally
trash your disk drives because /dev/hda is your disk, not a normal
file.)
So .. ignore the errors and don't scan /sys, /proc, or /dev in
future.
