I'm fine with exposting this. but the interface is rather awkward.
These kinds of multiple value per file interface require addition
parsing and are a pain to extend. Please do something like
/proc/sys/vm/writeback/
pages_dirtied
pages_cleaned
dirty_threshold
background_threshold
where you can just read the value from the file.

I'm not very happy about having this opencoded in a filesystem.
