I'm doing a patch.   Let's see how it fares in the face of all these
preconceptions.

Probably has rough edges, but appears to work.

I started with sysfs, then kernfs, then went with a custom filesystem, because

Hm, what is wrong with kernfs that prevented you from using it here?
Just complexity or something else?
