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.
