While I haven't looked at the contents of these files in much detail,
I suspect that they are not actually sysfs material at all. Anything
related to performance counters should probably go into "perf".
You can also have your own debugfs directories if that is not a good
fit, but when these are mainly debugging helps, debugfs seems more
appropriate than sysfs.
