I had a look at that too, and I think there is more to do then add the exports. /usr/src/linux/fs/proc/:get_root_array() has a switch statement with all known entries in /proc. switch (type) { case PROC_LOADAVG: return get_loadavg(page); ...
As a dynamic entered /proc/entry isn't in that list, we've got a problem.
But I am looking for it to, to add the registers of my SMC-SuperIO chip to /proc. These registers need a special mechanisme to read out, doable sensible only in kernel mode. And to write that device, writing that as a module would handy ... :-)
