A nice picture but its just not true. As I said earlier, you can
easily come up with cases
where CK needs information that is managed by hal, e.g. to find out
about available seats
etc. Or do you propose that CK should start scanning the various
busses for graphics
adapters itself ?

This picture is much closer to the truth:

[hal]            [CK]
      \         /
       [ bus]
           |
