The samples/ directory would be an excellent place to add examples
because the code would have to be maintained.

Does anyone know what is the policy to make a sample worth its place
in samples dir an not be considered as a bloat? Looking at the dir
seems to be that is only for samples about the usage of internal
kernel API (kfifo, kprobes, kobject, etc).
