I count 35 total (for both host and target); that's well within the
range of the sysfs single file per value.  A lot of them also seem to be
debug attributes, so won't they go away (or at least only compile in
under a DEBUG #define) with the released product?

The idea behind sysfs is easily and uniformly to export data to the
user, and to import it from the user.  You could separate the properties
out into those which are useful to the end user, and those which are for
developers only.  If there's enough of the latter, we could ask the
sysfs people for a more flexible interface.
