Which part? Large production environments don't trust data from debugfs? Or don't trust it if it might have been reset?
You could stick the "reset" switch in debugfs, and dump something out in dmesg like we do for /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches so it's not a surprise that it happened.
BTW, counts of *events* don't really belong in meminfo. These really do belong in /proc/vmstat if anything.
