That information is available in /sys, which is how HAL discovers it. If you wanted to, you could bypass HAL and go directly to /sys to perform your own discovery. Also HAL is not a part of the linux kernel, therefore a problem in HAL is NOT a problem in linux, even if there were no other way to get the information as you ( wrongly ) asserted.
