		Description:

		In kmemtrace-enabled kernels, the following files are created:

		/sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/
		cpu<n> (0400) Per-CPU tracing data, see below. (binary)
		total_overruns (0400) Total number of bytes which were dropped from
		cpu<n> files because of full buffer condition,
		non-binary. (text)
		abi_version (0400) Kernel's kmemtrace ABI version. (text)

		Each per-CPU file should be read according to the relay interface. That is,
		the reader should set affinity to that specific CPU and, as currently done by
		the userspace application (though there are other methods), use poll() with
		an infinite timeout before every read(). Otherwise, erroneous data may be
		read. The binary data has the following _core_ format:

		Event ID (1 byte) Unsigned integer, one of:
		0 - represents an allocation (KMEMTRACE_EVENT_ALLOC)
		1 - represents a freeing of previously allocated memory
		(KMEMTRACE_EVENT_FREE)
		Type ID (1 byte) Unsigned integer, one of:
		0 - this is a kmalloc() / kfree()
		1 - this is a kmem_cache_alloc() / kmem_cache_free()
		2 - this is a __get_free_pages() et al.
		Event size (2 bytes) Unsigned integer representing the
		size of this event. Used to extend
		kmemtrace. Discard the bytes you
		don't know about.
		Sequence number (4 bytes) Signed integer used to reorder data
		logged on SMP machines. Wraparound
		must be taken into account, although
		it is unlikely.
		Caller address (8 bytes) Return address to the caller.
		Pointer to mem (8 bytes) Pointer to target memory area. Can be
		NULL, but not all such calls might be
		recorded.

		In case of KMEMTRACE_EVENT_ALLOC events, the next fields follow:

		Requested bytes (8 bytes) Total number of requested bytes,
		unsigned, must not be zero.
		Allocated bytes (8 bytes) Total number of actually allocated
		bytes, unsigned, must not be lower
		than requested bytes.
		Requested flags (4 bytes) GFP flags supplied by the caller.
		Target CPU (4 bytes) Signed integer, valid for event id 1.
		If equal to -1, target CPU is the same
		as origin CPU, but the reverse might
		not be true.

		The data is made available in the same endianness the machine has.

		Other event ids and type ids may be defined and added. Other fields may be
		added by increasing event size, but see below for details.
		Every modification to the ABI, including new id definitions, are followed
		by bumping the ABI version by one.

		Adding new data to the packet (features) is done at the end of the mandatory
		data:
		Feature size (2 byte)
		Feature ID (1 byte)
		Feature data (Feature size - 3 bytes)

		What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/.../remove_id
		Date: February 2009
		Contact: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
		Description:
		Writing a device ID to this file will remove an ID
		that was dynamically added via the new_id sysfs entry.
		The format for the device ID is:
		VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM. That is Vendor ID, Device
		ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID, Class,
		and Class Mask. The Vendor ID and Device ID fields are
		required, the rest are optional. After successfully
		removing an ID, the driver will no longer support the
		device. This is useful to ensure auto probing won't
		match the driver to the device. For example:
		# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/remove_id
