Good stuff, thanks for finally pushing this upstream!
Regarding the use of debugfs, have you considered making your own file system independent of that? Currently, you'd need a lot of boilerplate code (basically a copy of debugs/inode.c), but I think it'd be appropriate since you're adding more than just a few simple files in debugfs.
Maybe we can talk next monday when I'm in the office, because some time ago, I have already started a patch set that would make it trivial to add a new debugfs-like file system.
