OK... debugfs and tracefs definitely convert to that; so do, AFAICS,
spufs and selinuxfs, and I wouldn't be surprised if it could be
used in a few more places... securityfs, almost certainly qibfs,
gadgetfs looks like it could make use of that. Maybe subrpc
as well, but I'll need to look in details. configfs won't,
unfortunately...
