    It certainly depends on what the module wants to export.  Something that
    is a tunable parameter for the module or a similar type of attribute is
    exactly what should be in sysfs.  This discussion comes at the result of
    /proc abuse, and moving to sysfs necessitates a place holder to anchor
    things.
