But it isn't a device is it? It isn't a filesystem either. It looks like sysfs is the best fit even if it isn't really the right place for it. Actually a architecture specific system call might be the right thing to do, but I suspect it would be hard to get it implemented.

So here comes my part of the flame: It is exactly the right thing to do conceptually, but sysfs isn't the right place for it.
