Maybe a purely mechanical conversion to file_operations would be a nice first
step, just so we can remove read_proc and write_proc? Taking scsi_proc.c
as an example, this should be really straightforward and lets us get
rid of the write_proc and read_proc callbacks from proc_dir_entry without
having to rewrite all the remaining drivers that use it.
Obviously, someone who understands the specific driver code better should
then clean up the code by converting to seq_file operations or something
else that is appropriate there.
