As there was no FAQ entry on this issue, I started one:
http://www.kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/WhyWritingFilesFromKernelIsBad
Of course, it's incomplete. Feel free to add more informations/links.

processes. There are many other ways to exchange informations with
userspace: relayfs, debugfs, netlink sockets, etc.
Sincerly,
