configfs is a ram-based filesystem that provides the converse
of sysfs's functionality. Where sysfs is a filesystem-based
view of kernel objects, configfs is a filesystem-based manager
of kernel objects, or config_items.
Both sysfs and configfs can and should exist together on the
same system. One is not a replacement for the other.
