I find the interface kind of weird. A lot of debugfs usage in other places
just dumps out the current state. Here you are writing to it to ask it to
do a snapshot, and then you read it later. This ends up requiring manual
management of a buffer, instead of using seq_file, which is commonly used
for virtual files.
