Description of changes

@K900 I see you added DAMON — they've deprecated DAMON debugfs and moved it under DAMON_DBGFS_DEPRECATED. Do you think we should enable that config option, or just axe it from 6.9 onwards?

I think we should be OK to just kill it, if that's what upstream does.

Merging this so I can base the next stable update off of it.

Apologies for not leaving a review earlier!
Changes look good, I just didn't get to testing them so far, so I haven't left a review here.
