Hey Carlos,

The model will be one file per feature?

Instead of calling the directory "caps" should this maybe be called
"features"? I'm not fuzzed about it and if you want to keep "caps"
that's fine. The term is just a bit overused and makes me think of other
things than this.

What if you ever want to deprecate one? :)

I know this is the oneway spam _detection_ feature but this file makes
it sound like the binder driver has the capability to generate one-way
spam. :) Maybe name at least name the file "oneway_spam_detection".

You can drop the goto here and just always return directly.

Please name this "dir" instead of "root". "root" is conventionally used
for sb->s_root and especially here in this file I only ever used it to
indicate s_root.
