For some tasks, neither procfs nor sysfs seem to be the right place. Which is really odd. The two unwritten rules are
(a) "No new files should go into /proc"
-> so we use sysfs, we would think
(b) "/sys files have only one value"
-> that's possibly expensive in terms of dentries and kobjects when you think of files with lots of variables like /proc/stat
So we're in a draw for some sort of files...
