The driver already separates its files between debugfs and proc.  I put in 
debugfs files one wouldn't be looking at unless they were investigating some 
problem and the rest are in proc.  Frankly I don't really care which fs they 
use, they just contain useful information and it would be nice to have them 
somewhere.  Let me know what you want me to do here.
