Also related is "how can userspace be notified of kernel events?".
There is no way for a userspace app to be notified that, for instance,
an ATM device got a loss of signal. The drivers print it out, but the
userspace app has no clue.
I think that there should be a relatively generic way for drivers to
distribute events such as this and for userspace to register interest in
them.
Maybe netlink is the way to go, but its not exactly a simple interface.
