I need this. Is anybody working on it? If nobody is, I step forward.

What about a tiny bttv sub-driver in its own tiny module?

The sub-driver would be configurable card-by-card, so that those using
gpio ports for their remote controls would keep them hidden to gpiolib.

How instead could all these gpios communicate to user-space?

cheers,
Domenico
