Well, wouldn't it make much more sense to write a
/dev/frontled to access it via userspace? 

Then one could enable much more features like
- xmms plugins
- num-lock led
- network-traffic
- morse-codes
- glowing when typing
- ...

One can always control the led by sending PMU command directly
via /dev/adb :) Ok, that sort-of sucks, especially since the command is
only supported by some versions of the PMU. On the other hand, I dislike
cluttering /dev ... maybe I can find some better mecanism via sysfs...
