+Entries under /sys/kernel/ibnbd_client/

You will need Greg KH's permission to add new entries directly under /sys/kernel.
Since I think that it is unlikely that he will give that permission: have you
considered to add the new client entries under /sys/class/block for the client and
/sys/kernel/configfs/ibnbd for the target, similar to what the NVMeOF drivers do
today?

/sys/kernel was chosen ages ago and I completely forgot to move it to configfs.
IBTRS is not a block device, so for some read-only entries (statistics
or states)
something else should be probably used, not configfs.  Or it is fine
to read state
of the connection from configfs?  For me sounds a bit weird.
