Has anybody looked into the inode and dcache overhead of all this stuff,
which I assume is pinned into memory a la ramfs?
I wonder if sysfs attributes could be accessed via the extended
attribute VFS API? A file full of EA's can easily be considered a
key-value database, or attribute-value in this case :) The EA names and
values need not pin a bunch of inodes and dcache entries, either.
(though viro may scream at my mention of EAs :))
