Ick, no, you would be adding a new user/kernel api that you will be
required to support for the next 20+ years.  Just to get over a
short-term issue before you solve the problem properly.

If you really do not want these debugfs files, just disable debugfs from
your system.  That should be a better short-term solution, right?

Or better yet, disable SCHED_DEBUG, why can't you do that?

thanks,
