I don't believe this is good idea. Passthrough interfaces where
userland talks directly to hardware are very tricky.

I have an RGB keyboard, and would like to get it supported. I already
have kernel driver for LEDs (which breaks input functionality). I'd
like to cooperate on "illumination" subsystem.
