I don't have a problem moving the perfmon stuff to /sys, except for
/proc/perfmon which is already being used by a bunch of tools. Unless
we duplicate the information or use a simlink (if that's possible).
Please indicate a location in the /sys tree where these would fit:
/proc/perfmon
/proc/perfmon_map
These are currently sysctl():
/proc/sys/kernel/perfmon/arg_size_max
/proc/sys/kernel/perfmon/debug
/proc/sys/kernel/perfmon/debug_ovfl
/proc/sys/kernel/perfmon/expert_mode
/proc/sys/kernel/perfmon/reset_stats
/proc/sys/kernel/perfmon/smpl_buf_size_max
/proc/sys/kernel/perfmon/sys_group
/proc/sys/kernel/perfmon/task_group
