Thanks for reviewing the sysfs part.  Actually, I was never really sure
if I shouldn't rather put this code to debugfs and you got me convinced
that I should.  Sysfs somehow looked more appealing from kernel's API
point of view -- things seem to be more organised in sysfs than in
debugfs.  It seems I'll have to port it to debugfs after all

Yes, debugfs looks like a much better place for this.

I'll fix that in v6 then.

Is a name field ever really going to be bigger than a page?

For numeric values you are right that snprintf() is a bit paranoid,
still I see no good reason why not to use it.

Same goes for no good reason to use it :)

I somehow prefer to always use "safe" versions of the string manipulation
functions -- it's better to use it everywhere then to forget it in one
place.  Call to sprintf() is translated to vsnprintf() anyway so there's
no performance gain.
