I'm not saying it is not possible, it certainly is. But I think that for example rocker internals have no value to default user, he should not care and he cannot find out what is going on there without knowledge or rocker.c code. The question is, do we need some standard interface to expose random debugging data? I don't think so, I think that debugfs is exactly the tool to be used in that case. > >Anyone against what I am saying right now is simply lazy.
