I also have an empty /proc/sys/dev directory. I have cdrom.o and sr.o
compiled in. This has been this way in at least from .103 through
109-pre1, with or without a number of other patches, incl Alan's and
devfs.

Some relevant config options:

CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_KMOD=y
CONFIG_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR_VENDOR=y
# CONFIG_CD_NO_IDESCSI is not set
CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y
CONFIG_JOLIET=y
CONFIG_PROC_FS=y
