freq_data->avg_delta_{reads,writes} seems to be an in/out parameter, but by
specifying it once as an in parameter and again as an lvalue, you're increasing
the chances that someone will screw it up some time later -- you're not
preventing me from accidentally writing this:
freq_data->avg_delta_writes = hot_average_update(..., freq_data->avg_delta_reads);
...which (at least in my head) becomes an easier mistake to make once you start
mixing in the function pointers a few patches later, and (my) brain has to wrap
itself around all the punctuation.

Actually, I should go further -- why not use loff_t? The rest of the fs/ code
does.

I don't know about a procfs interface -- debugfs, perhaps?
But actually, I was thinking that the fs might have a better idea of the range
granularity that it wants to handle. Possibly it might be useful to try to
align with raid stripes or other topology, too... though that's difficult.
Also, for the fses that use allocation units (clusters), it might be useful
to collect heat data per-cluster.
On the other hand, it might not make much of a difference since most files tend
to fit in ~4K anyway, and the extra granularity will increase memory
consumption for large files. I don't mind having a 1MB default, but having a
knob would certainly make it easier to tune, or in the future, to test if that
1MB default still makes sense.
