Hi Jim,

Looking on the sdp module info, I see that some of the module params are
used to --report-- on this or that counter value (poll miss/"help"/etc).

Can you change the code such that reporting of counter values be
carried out in more standard (sysfs, netlink, etc) fashion?

Also the only maintainer listed in the output is Michael, please add yours as well.

Or.
