The general goal seems worthy, but here I don't see explained why hasn't
this gone through libfs, and what the intention was long term. For
instance, you added some other generalizations which you have found. It
was not clear that this was the goal here, to expand on these paths.
What if common code on fs is found which are not part of debugfs and
tracefs, how does one decide if to move to libfs or simplefs?
