It would probably help if some of the basic code needed was wrapped in
an even more "dumbed-down" API - most of the stuff in say pcihpfs is
generically useful for this sort of configfs thing.
As more and more minifs's appear (they are trivially easy to write after
all) we're likely to see more duplication of this code, and the
resultant missing bug fix propogation
