OK, will look into that. At first glance, it does appear to require
quite a bit more code to make use of than did the /proc filesystem,
if you want the files to produce human-readable strings, as is appropriate
in this case. I am looking at uhci-debug.c -- is there an example that
better matches what I am trying to do?

Thanx, Paul
