I see two problems with the informative code. First, anaconda supports
the two reipl types ccw for DASD and fcp for zFCP. The kernel interface
also supports other stuff such as nss (named saved segments). I think we
should only descend into the reipl type specific subdirectory and get
additional information for the two types anaconda supports because
anaconda does not know anything about the other types and how to
interpret their information. Which is fine, BTW, since those types are
not needed for installation.

I'm not sure, if all sysfs attributes will always contain printable
ASCII text. I wouldn't want any potential binary data misconfigure the
console. Maybe a hexdump (e.g. od -xa) of the attributes' content would
make this safer?
