If we look at /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity, which uses seq file ops, we can do this:

sh-4.2# ls -al /proc/irq/5/smp_affinity
-rw------- 1 root 0 0 May 9 16:35 /proc/irq/5/smp_affinity
sh-4.2# chmod +x /proc/irq/5/smp_affinity
sh-4.2# ls -al /proc/irq/5/smp_affinity
-rwx--x--x 1 root 0 0 May 9 16:35 /proc/irq/5/smp_affinity
sh-4.2# /proc/irq/5/smp_affinity
/proc/irq/5/smp_affinity: line 1: 1f: command not found

There are quite a lot of files under /proc that let me do that.
