	Looks good.  Fits about what I would expect a configfs interface
to look like, with simple show/store stuff.  I can see where some macros
would have shortened some bolierplate.
	Was there any other boilerplate you found cumbersome?  I mean
outside of defining attribute structs and the show/store_attr()
trampoline functions?  Let me know, so I can incorporate it.
