Hi Guenter,

This was my suggestion in the previous version, that this device could
look like something related to fault handling or hardware monitoring.
Whether it fits hwmon, I am no sure, just proposed it. Definitely I do
not think of hwmon as dumping ground, but I am rather trying to find
proper place for esm, instead of dumping it in misc (which is a dumping
ground :) ).
