Yeah, so those sprang up as a testing module and the final goal is to
have all injection done through perf events but it could also be prudent
to keep those as a fallback alternative.

I'm thinking something like
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-edac but looking
at Documentation/ABI/README and reading the "testing/" category
description, I don't think it applies to those interfaces just yet for
the simple reason that they're still changing and I wouldn't want to
cast them in stone now.

Can we add them to a "unstable" category instead or maybe delay making
the ABI description for now?

Thanks.
