Wouldn't asking upstream to revert the code removal be a start?  I'm
sure they simply didn't know that there's another platform relying on
the code (and not being able to provide a functional /sys emulation).

Ideally you should use cygport to do that.  Unpack the util-linux
source archive, cd into the created source dir, call

  cygport util-linux.cygport prep

Then change into the util-linux-${version}.${arch}/src dir, apply
your patch, go back to the dir containing the util-linux.cygport file
and call

  cygport util-linux.cygport compile
