I already suggested writing a driver or drivers that represent the
hardware you have, that advice remains.  It's hard to follow what you
were trying to say with your long mail earlier today but it seems like
you basically don't want to use any abstraction or framework, but that's
not really suitable for upstream integration - other hardware that looks
similar to the end user should look similar in the kernel too.
