Please sign me up. I would like to take a shot at writing a user space interface to a complex device from scratch- there just has to be a better way than dozens of ioctls! :) It doesn't look like any mainline drivers (besides dlm) are using configfs yet so it would be fun to see if it is a good fit for this sort of thing.
