So before you do any kernel modules, you have to sit down and precisely
define what you want do to:
- do you want to initialize different stuff in your application based on
platform support?
- do you want to tell the user something so that the user can act
accordingly?
- do you just want to display feature support?
- ...
All this needs to be properly written down and discussed first, and then
we can think of the best way for the kernel to provide it, if there is
even any kind of info the kernel can provide reliably.
Thx.
