Thank you for letting us know your interest, Andrew.  This should be helpful at
better prioritizations.

Now development trees of DAMON and DAMON user-space tool support[1] write-only
monitoring.  The implementation is dirty and not upstreamable for now, but
please feel free to test and let me know what you see if you don't mind.

I will continue working on more testing and making it upstreamable.
