I'd say, if one enabled PROC_FS and this fscache stuff, one should get files
in /proc. More, if one enables "gather statistics" (if it's performance-
or space- sensitive), one also gets fs/fscache/stats et al.

config option per proc file is way too much.

No need, see below.

Export isn't needed because other modules can just create by path their proc
files and it will work as expected:

	pde = proc_create("fs/fscache/xxx",...)

->owner settings is not needed nowadays.

a) set .owner in ->proc_fops instead
b) use (in your case) proc_create_data()

This is overly complex for unclear need. Just set_printf() all these lines
and drop iterator business. Use single_open()! Ditto for histo stuff.
