IOW, anyone considering debugfs as an fs exclusive to kernel-developers is WRONG. IOW2, distros should _NOT_ shy away from enabling debugfs by default on their production kernels. Right? Just want to make sure this is clear as it has been my impression all along (and it seems that of others out there), and I may have very well been wrong, that debugfs is solely for kernel developers.
