If you mess up, things will break the second you populate /proc. This might
also work to detect an excess of arguments, or a lack thereoff:

i = create_proc_entries(NULL, /* create in root /proc */
                                "test:{bar:{x:%d,y:%d,z:%d},foo-r:%f}",
                                &x, &y, &z, foo_fun, (void *)&somedata,
                                CREATE_PROC_TERMINATOR);

And insert a line like this in the right place:

BUG(va_arg(*args_ptr, int)!=CREATE_PROC_TERMINATOR);
