OK, I'm not the only one that thought kernfs seemed to go all over the place. I guess I now know why. It was more of a hook for cgroups. I can understand why cgroups needed it, as I found that creating files from a mkdir and removing them with rmdir causes some pain in vfs with handling of locking. As that's what I'm working on overcoming now.
But I think I solved my issues (testing it now), and hopefully by tomorrow, I'll have a V2 out.
