Don't want to hikjack your thread, but continuing this topic - Is there some flat-out disapproval for debugfs in net-next now? We're currently internally engaged with adding qed support for register dumps [~equivalents for `ethtool -d' outputs] through debugfs, on behalf of storage drivers [qedi/qedf] lacking the API for doing that.
