I'd have thought that a few code comments which describe what all this
is doing wouldn't hurt.  Oh well.

Let me fix that for you.

It's kinda irritating that this will cheerfully accept bogus input of
the form "42foo".  This happens about eleven billion times in sysfs
write() handlers but afaik we've never implemented a nice
sysfs_int_from_buffer() thingy which handles all the possible errors.
