Uh, I actually did wanted to print them at the resume time in kernel
logs, because I think this is something kernel developers would be
responsible for debugging and thus would be great to have this
included within the kernel logs. User space tools may differ on
different distros and may or may not be looking for S0ix failures, and
particularly may not dump this new debugfs attribute.

The other thing is that seemingly this could also help in situations
where debugfs is not configured?

Thanks,
