This capability would benefit MSM as well. We're looking into a
soc-specific implementation using Pat Pannuto's "pseudo" platform bus
extensions (discussed here http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/10/389). After
we have something working, I would be curious to see if some common
functionality could be extracted into a more generic mechanism.
