The plan is to put these interfaces in debugfs for now, with a view to migrating stabilized interfaces into sysfs (or procfs or whatever) once end-user requirements and use cases are better understood? If so, that sounds totally great to me. But it should have been in the darn changelog! This is the sort of thing which we care about most keenly. It would be helpful for reviewers to understand the proposed timeline for this process, because the entire feature isn't really real until this is completed, is it? I do think we should get this nailed down relatively rapidly, otherwise people will be reluctant to invest much into a moving target. And I must say, I see dissonance between the overall maturity of the feature as described in these emails versus the immaturity of these userspace control interfaces. What's happening there?
