I am not going to review, much less apply, this series.
Exposing subsystem internals to userspace is a bad idea and would limit
future improvements of the hardware monitoring subsystem. User space file
systems are bad enough and cause all kinds of trouble. I don't want to have
to deal with the same kind of issues in the hardware monitoring subsystem.
Interested parties should implement kernel hardware monitoring
drivers instead.
