Yes, but userspace already knows if you are on AC power or not, therefore it can decide what "current" means. If this is the only reason then adding a new kernel infrastructure is overkill. Also, doing things differently when on AC power smells like a policy decision, and AFAIK policy handling is not wanted in the kernel.
