One of my main objections to the framework is that it precludes
user-level sensors without some hokey interface for the userland
sensor to write into the kernel its current values.  It is certainyl a
technical weakness in the current setup.  It works for some i2c parts
and a few others, but it falls down in the general case.  That's what
Poul has been trying to tell you and you've been dismissing this, and
other arguments as irrelevant and tuen turning around and saying Poul
isn't making a technical argument.

Give me a break.
