Cool. This is kind of funny. In the google tree I implemented this in
the same multi-file-one-value-in-file manner. The debate on one file
for all vs that style was heated. And I changed it before sending
upstream. I really don't care either way. So I will just change the
patch and move the values to that location
Do you mind explaining why something would go in /proc/ vs /sys? I
thought the idea was to not put things in /proc anymore.

I wasn't excited about this section either. What does opencoded mean?
Do you mean it should not be exposed to specific fs code?
