I finally got around to looking at the review notes.

In the beginning of the document I did have a disclaimer:

------------------------
To mount the debugfs system:

  # mkdir /debug
  # mount -t debugfs nodev /debug

(Note: it is more common to mount at /sys/kernel/debug, but for simplicity
 this document will use /debug)
------------------------

I know the recommended place is /sys/kernel/debug, but I never use it. And 
I know many others that do not either. It is just easier to make the
/debug directory. I feel this is more of a guideline than something
that must be enforced.  But if you do feel strongly on this subject, I
can change it to /sys/kernel/debug (which I absolutely loathe).

The rest of your comments I'm fine with.
