       Here's another approach that's far less ugly than the last and is
    much more powerful. The code is a little over half the size as a
    bonus. Rather than specifically poking for certain methods and exposing
    them, this patch exposes everything. The down side is that all reading
    and writing of the files need to use binary acpi data structures. This
    interface certainly provides "shoot yourself in the foot" potential, but
    the access to the namespace from userspace is hard to beat. Any
    thoughts on this approach versus the last? This interface and a simple
    set of libraries to go along with it has a lot of potential. Thanks,

            Alex
