More generally, stupid question, but does Android *really* need to have debugfs mounted? And if so, can we figure out what facilities that are needed and can we find some other way of meeting those requirements?

I do know that they have applications that use ftrace. But then again, the ftrace files are under its own tracefs file system (that just happens to be mounted when debugfs is). That said, I would assume that other Android utilities are using other debugfs files for system status and such.
