Why are these in whole seconds?

And why is this presented in cycles?

We have a policy to not taint the kernel log with "useless" information,
for kernel developers this seems to add no value and for end users
there's no benefit to this.

Why?

Most other entries here are sorted alphabetically.

Why are these non-static global variables?

This number is completely dependent on link order and other things in
happening in the kernel, so what trust do you give in this number going
up or down?

As above, why is this presented in ticks?

You can't just do ->child here, what if boot stats isn't the first item
in the list?

Isn't this region going to be also accessed by some sleep stats driver?

You're done with your platform_device, and your two ioremap regions
here. But you're holding on to those 10kb of memory for the rest of the
systems runtime.

You're binding to the root imem node, rather than your boot stats child
node.

How about just exposing the boot stats imem region to userspace, through
debugfs or similar and then you can have a userspace tool that digs out
and reports this information when profiling is relevant?
