This is a mix of a lot of different things all at once.

I'll gladly take the update to the debugfs.txt file for the newer api
calls as a separate file.

For the "this is what a specific debugfs file contains", those should go
into Documenation/ABI/ if you really want to document those types of
things.

But as it is, this single patch does too many different things all at
once.

thanks,
