Because I tried to use /sys for this and couldn't find a
way to get notified about "unlink". Alan Cox called this
bit "daft" in v1 (and I agreed with him). Peter Anvin gave
me some pointers on how easy this would be to do as a real
filesystem ... so v3 will be out in a little while with
this insanity removed.

I'll roll in fixes to address your other comments too.

Thanks for the review.
