where to export system tuneables, /proc/sys/kernel or /sys/?
I'm doing some kernel work that will export tuneables to userspace. In 2.4 I would have used /proc/sys/kernel, but now there is /sys, which was supposed to be for system information. However, a bit of poking around in /sys didn't reveal any obvious place to put it. Is current practice to still put this sort of thing in /proc?
