I just am not especially happy about the inability to do natural, efficient
things here, such as use a statically allocated set of things with sysfs. And
I remain convinced that the above is not "improper"; it's a reasonable
step, given the limitations of the current sysfs design. I just wanted to say
that out loud, as my proposal sinks to the bottom of the trench here. haha :)

What is "odd" is that you are creating an object in the kernel that you
_never_ free.  That's not normal at all in the kernel, and so, your wish
to have a kobject that you never free represent this object also is not
normal :)

OK, thanks for taking the time to explain that, much appreciated!


thanks,
