No, I have not really analyzed the different options here.

I would say that anything that can be modeled on existing kernel-level
interfaces (such as APM emulation) should use them.  If they cannot get
the job done, we should think about extending them.

The power related userspace/kernel interactions should be facilitated by
the kernel.  I think this is a reasonably low-level kind of thing that
shoud not have userspace dependencies (such as dbus) unless neccessarry.
