Slight ambiguity above as to whether the NUL byte is part of "value" or
a separator between "value" and "lsm2" or both (e.g. two consecutive NULs).

nit: To me at least, "special file" means device file and I think that's
the common usage for UNIX-like systems. So I wouldn't use that term for
these files. Could just drop "special".

I guess you didn't like the kernel-doc description I offered (aside from
the printable ASCII bit). At least be explicit above about whether the
returned length should include or omit the terminating NUL and make sure
all modules conform.

I'm guessing the -ENOPROTOOPT test is a leftover from trying to handle
getpeersec_stream as well as getprocattr? AFAICT, that is only returned
for getpeersec_stream.
