What do you mean when you say that you would like boards to "hook
directly into the regulator" - what do you want to be able to do?
Is this the notifiers?  Do you need more of them?

I can't parse this at all I'm afraid.  Could you be more specific about
what you mean by using enable and disable independantly of the board -
clearly the consumer drivers are already able to be board independant?

The regulator core already supports enabling or disabling regulators
from the machine constraints which I *think* is what you're looking for
but since I can't follow what you're saying above I'm not sure.
