note that in recent kernels it has changed to:

config RELAY
	bool "Kernel->user space relay support (formerly relayfs)"
	help
	  This option enables support for relay interface support in
	  certain file systems (such as sysfs, and trivially debugfs).
	  It is designed to provide an efficient mechanism for tools and
	  facilities to relay large amounts of data from kernel space to
	  user space.
