And note that once there's a generic facility that allows event injection, the actual low level implementation might of course be hardware specific. There's no reduction in actual feature richness: if the hw can do fancy things, it can be expressed via a generic facility as well. What i object to is the narrow hardware specificity (and ad-hocness) of the high level interface and its non-integration into existing facilities.
