+Subject: debugfs: Add debugfs_create_blob() helper for exporting binary data
+Message-Id: <20060307104225.E0DDA679E6@ozlabs.org>
+
+I wanted to export a binary blob via debugfs, and although it was pretty easy
+it seems like it'd be easier if there was a helper for it. It's a pity we need
+the wrapper struct but I can't see a cleaner way to do it.

++ * @parent: a pointer to the parent dentry for this file. This should be a

++ * file will be created in the root of the debugfs filesystem.
++ * @blob: a pointer to a struct debugfs_blob_wrapper which contains a pointer
++ * to the blob data and the size of the data.
++ *
++ * This function creates a file in debugfs with the given name that exports
++ * @blob->data as a binary blob. If the @mode variable is so set it can be
++ * read from. Writing is not supported.
++ *
++ * This function will return a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds. This
++ * pointer must be passed to the debugfs_remove() function when the file is
++ * to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is unloaded,
++ * you are responsible here.) If an error occurs, NULL will be returned.
++ *
++ * If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -ENODEV will be
++ * returned. It is not wise to check for this value, but rather, check for
++ * NULL or !NULL instead as to eliminate the need for #ifdef in the calling
++ * code.
