I'm not a kernel developer so I'm not going to tell anyone _how_ to 
implement the internals of this idea. My point is that if we're going to 
implement something that the API should be compatible so that all of the 
client software that already works with HAL doesn't have to be 
rewritten, patched, or abandoned.
