Create the parent directory for all lockd-related sysfs entries.  The

Can I argue about the colour of the bike shed please?

lockd is not a filesystem, so I would not put it in /sys/fs.

I think lockd has more in common with 'fscache' than with
'fuse' and 'ext4', so I think it should go in /sys/kernel
rather than /sys/fs.

Mind you, this comment is based on the assumption that /sys is different
to /proc in that it is better organised.  But I am beginning to wonder.


I know you would much rather a review of the rest of the series that this one
point and I apologise for not providing one.... maybe I'll motivate myself
sometime.

I think it's a legitimate comment. I actually had this under /sys/kernel at an earlier point. I'm somewhat agnostic about it.
