What I meant was that userconfig assumes the user has knowlege on how it works, so for normal people they don't have 'access' to it. Access was probably a poor choice of word to use. *IF* we are going to use it for all of the kernel device debugging, then it should be better documented before we remove the only useful form we have now.
