Using plugins out of tree / not with Kubernetes?

Hi! I'm particularly interested in these two for functionality:

- https://github.com/containers/nri-plugins/blob/main/pkg/sysfs/system.go
- https://github.com/containers/nri-plugins/blob/main/cmd/plugins/balloons/policy/cputree.go#L243

And I'm wondering if 1) you have examples of using these outside of the context of Kubernetes, and 2) if it might be possible to vendor them separately to allow for such use cases? For some background, I'm designing extractors for compatibility, and nri was recommended to me as an alternative for topology to hwloc, which has technically "[go bindings](https://github.com/c0mm4nd/go-hwloc/pull/2)" but I'm finding them hard to use. If you'd be interested in this idea I can prototype / test the out of tree case, although it would be helpful to understand how to create the various plugins. Thanks!

Start by reading pkg/sysfs/system.go and the balloons policy code at cmd/plugins/balloons/policy/cputree.go:243, then trace how the referenced functionality depends on the surrounding plugins. Determine whether these components can be used outside Kubernetes and vendored separately; done means the standalone-use path, plugin creation guidance, or a concrete prototype and test is documented.
