Is the concept of a bargraph of LEDs really a 'limited use'? I can think
of several uses... I mean isn't flashing or a heart beat just as limited
;-)

For my application a user-land stub would do math to work out threshold
values and push current value (in the right format) into the LED
subsystem.
Once kernel framework is provided it should not need re-compilation on a
case by case basis.
