/sys/kernel/fadump/* looks tidy instead of /sys/kernel/fadump/fadump_* 
I mean, /sys/kernel/fadump/fadump_enabled => /sys/kernel/fadump/enabled and such..


Could you please confirm whether you want to address the sysfs file path differently or
actually changing the sysfs file name from fadump_enabled to enabled.
I meant, given the path "/sys/kernel/fadump/", the prefix fadump_ is redundant.
If there are no conventions that we should retain the same file name, I suggest
to drop the fadump_ prefix and just call them enabled, registered, etc..
