Yes, you are probably right. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what is supposed to 
go where. AFAIK procfs is deprecated, sysfs does not seem suitable. Greg 
mentioned configfs, etc .. 
The idea was to document what we have & need and let them (Greg et al.) figure 
out what the best location might be to avoid investing more time & energy in 
the "wrong" virtual filesystem.  :-)
