Herbert, Yoshifuji and I were just discussing the
sysfs device attribute issue.

It's seems sane to me that if we had some kind of
'dirty' bit per attribute we could propagate default
settings everywhere except where the dirty bit had
been set.

The question is how to implement this nicely.

What do you think?
