You are using /proc/* to something that is not process related.
At lkml you will be requested to use something else.

You can conisder splitting this up in another file so you
in the Makefile can use it conditionally.

One way you would not like....
Let the first patches introduce core-functionality and add features
in later patches - touching the same file many times.

Also please submit the Makefile/Kconfig stuff in the _last_ mail.
Otherwise you would ruin bisect because we cannot build kbus until
you have the last files included.
