Will this be the way of making specific vendor ACPI drivers, or the kernel based modules approach ? We don't know yet, but if is not critical, kernel guys tend to push things out of kernel space. And sometimes they are right. So I considered the RFC for both quick hack and for the evolving interface. If I was wrong, please excuse my wasting of your time.
