HAL is tightly bound to the kernel and this will countinuously happen in

an interface works without a user and if you don't put it in the kernel you
certainly don't have a user.
The usual approach is to overlap the old/new interfaces,
so that userspace continues to work. After a few kernel revisions,
then nuke the old interface.
What, you say, you're replacing an existing userspace API in-situ,
rather than creating a new one??
Humbug..
