How much overhead? Have you measured it, reading from virtual files is
fast :)

And how often does this happen? Does it _need_ to happen?

Parsing files is also hard, and not for sysfs files, you can't have it
both ways.

So try it this way, and if there really is a performance issue, we can
then talk about it...
