I just am not especially happy about the inability to do natural, efficient

I remain convinced that the above is not "improper"; it's a reasonable
step, given the limitations of the current sysfs design. I just wanted to say
that out loud, as my proposal sinks to the bottom of the trench here. haha :)
What is "odd" is that you are creating an object in the kernel that you
_never_ free. That's not normal at all in the kernel, and so, your wish
to have a kobject that you never free represent this object also is not
normal :)
OK, thanks for taking the time to explain that, much appreciated!
thanks,
