You can do fancy auto-loading things as David points out. We
probably should do the sysfs magic in the kernel module. If udev
happens to be running, this can auto-create the /dev entry, with
whatever perms the udev config files choose.
If someone were eager to figure this out, I think we could test it
and get it to work on all kernels pretty easily.
