sensors framework continued (architecture)

[Nikolay Pavlov]

Just want to mention that Linux lm-sensors 3.0.0 was released today.
A few notes that could be interesting for us:
============= Quote ===============
* It is now a user-space-only package, it no longer contains kernel
  drivers.
* The i2c tools have been moved to a separate package (surprisingly
  named i2c-tools).
* libsensors' internal version was bumped to 4.0.0, as it has a
  completely new API we had to increase the .so version. This new
  library contains no chip-specific knowledge, it assumes that hardware
  monitoring drivers follow the standard sysfs interface. A very nice
  benefit of this is that the size of the library has been divided by
  4 (down from 222 kB to 55 kB on i386).
* Some kernel drivers still don't implement the standard interface
  for alarms, so alarm flags won't show.
============= Quote ===============

So as you can see it's fully userspace non chip-specific library, based on 
sysfs interface.
