Eeek!

I agree, that needs to be fixed now.

Remember, 1 value per file in sysfs!  Shall I just submit a patch
ripping it out for now?

Now... this file needs to die, before 2.6.21 is released. It tries to
bring /proc-like parsing nightmare to sysfs. Kill it before it becomes
part of stable ABI!

Now... this file needs to die, before 2.6.21 is released. It tries to

Eeek!

I agree, that needs to be fixed now.

Remember, 1 value per file in sysfs!  Shall I just submit a patch
ripping it out for now?
