OK, then I will use debugfs for tacking cpu load instead of sysfs.
What is your opinion using debugfs?

I have cpu hotplug feature in user-space to reduce power-consumption
because of estimating difference power-consumption according to a number
of online cpu. The cpu hotplug feature in user-space must need accumulated data of
per-cpu load and current cpu frequency to monitor current system state(cpu load).
My goal is that cpu hotplug feature must use only standard kernel node and
be always operated on mainline kernel. So, I want to add load_table sysfs as standard kernel node.
Thanks,
