NACK. We have frozen the sysfs ABI and we are working on a character device to replace it for userspace access, see: http://marc.info/?l=linux-gpio&m=144550276512673&w=2 Second question is *WHY* you want this crazy thing? Userspace should want *events* from a file descriptor, like IIO does it for example (on top of a proper chardev), not polling a register to figure out if an IRQ occurred. We need to think about the real solution to what you want to do. Yours, Linus Walleij
