Along similar lines, while making some improvements to OpenMooCow I
noticed that opening the accelerometers with O_NONBLOCK still leads to
read() blocking for many milliseconds as described. Sometimes much
longer due to the threshold option. Should the accelerometers (meaning
the "input" subsystem, I guess) support non-blocking reads in the 2.6.24
kernel?
