Nowhere do I suggest to feed userland data into the kernel just so it can be 
reexported to userland.  Instead, I think the "public" interface that systat, 
monitoring daemons, SNMP, etc. should be a userland interface that can have 
multiple backends.  It can pull data from a sensor implemented in userland or 
a sensor implemented in the kernel.
