It's there.  I just missed it until today.  My apologies Vinh.  I'll
do a more formal review tomorrow, but at first glance I'm concerned
with the sysfs usage.  The files in sysfs are supposed to be one file
per value, and you see to have something akin to /proc/meminfo in the
sysfs file being created.  Perhaps that would be better either split
into unique file names per field in sysfs, or in a debugfs file
instead?

Again, I'll review more closely tomrorow.
