Here is a patch to fix all the spelling error (prefered -> preferred)

I think this doesn't add any value.
If the procfs file name has to remain the same, which it does,
changing variable and macro names to be different will only
cause merge conflicts and pain yet have no redeeming value.

I disagree.  Proper spelling has value.

Only if it matches the spelling of thing it is implementing!

Making the object being implemented and the variables used to do so
disagree in name will only create other kinds of confusion.
