+\item externalize kernel objects
+\item mount-point: /sys
+\item early mount required
+\item Kernel devices
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item /sys/devices: all devices
+ \item /sys/block: only block devices
+ \item /sys/bus: devices, sorted by bus
+ \item /sys/class: devices, sorted by class
+ \end{itemize}
+\item Kernel modules
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item /sys/module: all modules
+ \item module parameters
+ \item module properties
+ \end{itemize}
+\item Tooling support:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item bus tools: lspci, lsusb, etc
+ \item others: lsuio
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
