Is the concept of a bargraph of LEDs really a 'limited use'? I can think of several uses... I mean isn't flashing or a heart beat just as limited ;-)

For my application a user-land stub would do math to work out threshold values and push current value (in the right format) into the LED subsystem.
Once kernel framework is provided it should not need re-compilation on a case by case basis.
