17 If you don't use it, it's not useful. :) Disable it in your kernel and
18 it will go away.

20 debugfs is not a real filesystem, it's a virtual way to access
21 debugging info from various modules/programs. Kind of like /proc is a
22 virtual filesystem which shows info about processes. If you don't use
23 any of that debugging info, then it's useless to you.
