if it's speed and accuracy what we want, then lets use an event based
thing, instead of the current polling approach.
There could be a binary kernel-event interface that feeds events to a
userspace daemon, which daemon in turn maintains the current ASCII
/proc structure. Fast and neat utilities would hook events directly.
