Hi,

I want to inform you that my branch is 95% finished, so let's explain
what does it provide:

- The code has been proplib(3)ified.
- Detachable sensors now really work, when a device is unregistered with
  sysmon_envsys_unregister(), it's removed from the linked list and its
  dictionary is removed from the global dictionary.
- Each device uses an array of dictionaries, one per sensor.
- envstat(8) rewritten from scratch with support to specify your
  critical limits, descriptions, rfact in /etc/envsys.conf.
- /etc/rc.d/envsys. A script to start/stop monitoring functions and/or
  changing other aspects of envstat(8) -m.
- Support to set critical max/min/capacity limits on sensors, directly
  using the new API features or via envstat(8).
- Support to change sensor's description on the fly, via envstat.
- Support to change rfact on the fly in voltage sensors (if enabled on
  the driver).
- sysmon_power/powerd(8) has been extended to support the new events
  used by envsys2. The following scripts are available:

/etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_battery (for battery sensors)
/etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive (for drive sensors, mfi(4))
/etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_fan
/etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_power (Watts/Ampere)
/etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_resistency (Ohms)
/etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_temperature
/etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_voltage

- There's a linked list for the sysmon envsys events, when the first
  one is added, a workqueue(9) is created and a callout(9) runs every
  10 seconds looking if the condition is triggered and sends a
  critical/warning event. If the state after coming from
  critical/warning is normal, a "normal" event is sent to userland to
  notify powerd(8) that all it's ok again.
- acpibat(4) has been adapted to send critical/critunder and warnunder
  events when battery capacity is critical, warncap or lowcap
  respectively.
- acpitz(4) has been modified to send critical/critover events, when
  the thermal zone is critical or hot.

All drivers were adapted to the new branch, and 60% of them
were tested by some developers/users (Manuel Bouyer, Nicolas Joly,
Brett Lymn, Mihai Chelaru, Joerg Sonnenberger, etc).

Also I fixed the n^2 gtredata bug on many drivers, all this stuff is
explained in the README file. I'm only missing to write the
documentation (sysmon_envsys(9) and sysmon_power(9)).

You can see all the code here: http://www.xtrarom.org/repos/

I'm going to commit it ASAP, so if you are not happy with something
in the code or in the API, explain what's wrong and why and I'll answer
you.

Thanks for your cooperation.
