Yeah except the process of getting a patch upstream is long, and usually they like a lot if you can tell them many users tested it before... >> I'll work on applesmc, but don't except it for 2.6.22, as I think 2.6.21 >> will be released very shortly, so the feature freeze for 2.6.22 will >> happen shortly.

By disassembling some OS X kernel extensions (AppleSMC, AppleSMCLMU, SMCMotion Sensor), using "otool -tvV" IIRC. Also, OS X provides a great external debugger, you can debug the kernel from another computer (even running Linux, there are some tutorials on the web about it IIRC), you put some breakpoints at some places, see what happens... I also used external sources like the open-source smcFanControl tool... That's it!
