What do you expect to be relevant for the kernel? Applications that leaks
is not that important. This types of buffers are important for android
applications, and android have moved a from ION buffers that has
metrics. It easily get in to 5-10 percent of the total amount ram.

This provide that information for end users or application developers
using commercial devices.  The end user get to know why their device
is running out of memory.

This what all other exported functions for this module are. I don't see any reason for this do be different.
