To be honest, I'm not very happy with this patch because it makes our
ConfigFS interface inflexible.
Let's assume that any other combination of this attributes will be
needed in a future and then what we are going to do with use_ms_rndiscmp
attribute?
So instead of having single attribute which sets the whole triple of
values to some hardcoded ones I would prefer to have one attribute per
each of this values and allow user to set them to his own values from
userspace.
