The following patch extends the proc fs api as discussed in the thread "/proc format" last month (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=98822545000007&w=2&r=1). It adds the following features: - dynamic directories. Enables you to use directories for enumerations, similar to the per-process directories (/proc/<number>) or usbdevfs. - context callbacks for directories. They can do things that are common for all files in a directory, like locking, and are also used for dynamic directories. - special functions with context support for proc files that containing short strings, integers or enums These things give the proc filesystem the functionality that I need for the Device Registry patch to replace the XML output with the one-value-per-file approach. The api is documented in fs/proc/onevalue.c.
