Implement a skeleton framework for debugfs support in the

Why default y? Can you not boot a box without this? If not, it should
not be Y.

Gary,

By far, most driver-debugfs additions are optional and include a user Kconfig prompt
so that user's can choose whether to enable it or not.

I suggest that the way forward is to fix Greg's debugfs_() api comments
and to add a prompt string to AMD_IOMMU_DEBUGFS.

Roger. I think we have that all worked out. Will send another version soon.

Thanks.
