It's obvious that your solution is more intutive for you, as you wrote the code.

For an end user, editing a file in /etc is non-intuitive in either case.

The difference is, that for hal exists a standardised format and lots
of documentation.
That's why I prefer this solution.

If creating the fdi file for your machine is too complicated (which I
don't deny), then we could wrap this into a small helper tool (just
like hal-disable-polling).

Let's hear, what others think about this issue.

Cheers,
Michael
