I'm not convinced that fine tuning is something that can be done in a 
generic way. It's going to be kernel specific, and there's no sense in 
having it tweakable at a per-user level. Trying to fit it into any sort 
of dbus interface would basically just be exposing the sysfs interface 
over dbus, which doesn't sound like a great idea...
