[PATCH RFC 01/22] alpha: srm_env: let procfs copy in writes

From: Christian Brauner

Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 11:07:22 EST


Implement ->proc_write_buf() so procfs copies in what is written to
/proc/srm_environment/* before it pins the entry, and hand that copy to
the console callback through the page it used before.
