A. missing patch description
B. The help message above sounds like a patch description.

If someone does not enable this kconfig option, what happens?
a. lru_gen files stay in debugfs
b. lru_gen files are not present
c. something else. If so, what?

Regard to the questions,
If this Kconfig option is enabled, the `lru_gen` and `lru_gen_full` files will appear under /proc/.
If it is not enabled, the files remain under debugfs, which is the current default behavior.

Thanks,
