Pete, Following patch adds the sysfs magic. Can you test the following patch and see if it helps? It should do the trick although I havent been able to test, which actually brings me to the next question. Is HEAD broken from a build perspective? I can't get it to build at all. I havent spent too much time trying to fix it though :( It seems to be related to the recent merge of walt3 to head. thanks, Murali

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.
