Hi.

I modified units (filename) in the patch.
In the symbol representation, perhaps anyone will mistake their interpretations,
and its representation is not used in sysfs usually.

In this patch, units is used at ''kibi_bytes'' (kilo binary
bytes, 2^10 = 1024)
which is formal (IEC) representation.

Thanks.
