Not sure what you're envisioning?

I'd consider the debugfs interface pretty integral; it's much more
discoverable for users, and it's hardly any code out of the whole
patchset.

Single depth was discussed previously. It's what makes it cheap enough
to be always-on (saving stack traces is expensive!), and I find the
output much more usable than e.g. page owner.
