debugfs definetly is the wrong place! users might compile the module with 
debugging disabled (for performance reasons, e.g.).

are you sure about configfs? as far as i read about it it's for the dynamic 
creation of kernel objects, which is not what we are doing here. or did the 
rules change in the mean time?
