Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/8] PM: suspend_block: Add driver to access suspend
 blockers from user-space

Yeah, this one is overly complex; instead of having 'open blocks
suspend' semantics and lsof listing active blockers, it adds strange
ioctl based interface passing names, and then adds debugfs
infrastructure listing those back.

I guess this is why you are getying 'it should be in /proc, no in
/sys, no in debugfs, no in /proc' kind of feedback. This should simply
not exist in the first place...
