to put this into some perspective... we (mainly twice11, xvilka, me) were discussing "the" major architectural problem of flashrom's internal programmer on irc: doing delicate stuff in user space without kernel support.
we came to the conclusion that it is worth to at least try to convince kernel people to provide interfaces for us to get more control over important things like acpi' execution and its interrupts.
I think the way to do this is to provide a kernel patch that implements such interfaces and then discuss with the kernel guys.
