I very much like the idea of a general EC debug/devel interface to userspace. It should be a separate CONFIG, marked "DEBUG", "EXPERIMENTAL" or whatever and be per default off. It is stupid that everybody who wants to debug a bit on EC registers needs to duplicate the IBM EC implementation, this should IMO be moved where it belongs to: drivers/acpi/ec.c The question is whether Len will accept/like it, Len?
