I would have preferred debugfs but it didn't support reading and writing of 
binary blobs (at least according to the docs I read). The feature being ported 
over sent C structs back and forth to/from user space (used to be ioctl based) 
and procfs worked pretty well doing that.  But that's been completely ripped 
out now and we do plan to use debugfs as the communication mechanism.   

Thanks
Brett
