Here's another model that might be more general...
accept_user_data() -- adds the data/status attributes to the device sysfs entry
request_helper(completion, environment string) -- causes
ACTION=helper, the environment string is added onto the normal
environment for an event from this device class. Only async version.
In the completion routine...
release_user_data() -- deletes the attributes, frees the data
This model addresses both the need to receive data and run helpers
that don't need data.
