  Will do, I see debugfs docs in there too.

  Yes, that's fine.  These really are just for checking 'am I really
doing hardware encryption' and debugging any return codes that may come
back from the hcall. The error return is probably more easily dev_err'd
though.

  Ok, I'll go look for some debugfs wrappers.

  We're not racing here, other than with cat.  Just so an admin can see
his workload is getting offloaded.

+
+Documentation for the sysfs interfaces provided by the nx-crypto driver, built
+in arch/powerpc/crypto/nx.
+
+The driver provides 2 sets of sysfs files, 1 for confirming that the device is
+actually being used and 1 for error detection.
+
+All sysfs files can be found in:
+
+	/sys/bus/vio/drivers/nx
+
+Error Detection
+===============
+
+errors:
+- A u32 providing a total count of errors since the driver was loaded. The
+only errors counted here are those returned from the hcall, H_COP_OP.
+
+last_error:
+- The most recent non-zero return code from the H_COP_OP hcall. -EBUSY is not
+recorded here (the hcall will retry until -EBUSY goes away).
+
+last_error_pid:
+- The process ID of the process who received the most recent error from the
+hcall.
+
+Notes on error detection:
+  H_RH_PARM (invalid hardware resource ID) and H_HARDWARE (hardware failure)
+are not recorded in the errors or last_error sysfs files, since they are
+signals to the driver to fall back to software.
+
+Device Use
+==========
+
+aes_bytes:
+- The total number of bytes encrypted using AES in any of the driver's
+supported modes.
+
+aes_ops:
+- The total number of AES operations submitted to the hardware.
+
+sha256_bytes:
+- The total number of bytes hashed by the hardware using SHA-256.
+
+sha256_ops:
+- The total number of SHA-256 operations submitted to the hardware.
+
+sha512_bytes:
+- The total number of bytes hashed by the hardware using SHA-512.
+
+sha512_ops:
+- The total number of SHA-512 operations submitted to the hardware.
