    Documentation says this:

    Userspace driver can use pci sysfs interface, or the
    libpci libray that wraps it, to talk to the device and to
    re-enable interrupts by writing to the command register.

    maybe we should make the point that *all* interaction with
    the device should be done via sysfs, explicit.
