Oops, I just noticed/remembered that ramster uses BOTH debugfs and sysfs.
The sysfs variables are all currently required, i.e. for configuration
so should not be tied to debugfs or a DEBUG config option. However,
if there is a more acceptable way to implement the function of
those sysfs variables, that would be fine.

Thanks,
