Plese fully document the proposed kernel->userspace interface in the
changelog so that we can review it design.

It's conventional to leave no space between the ) and the ( here.  Using a
tab is quite unconventional.

hm, this would break the one-value-per-file rule, except that applies to
sysfs, but this interface is implemented via debug fs, but it is proposed
that it appear under /sys.  Tricky.
