Do you mean by expressiveness the ability to hack around a suboptimally working driver in userland (by requiring the administrator to play with kernel thread priorities of dedicated worker threads)? Is it known whether this driver/ these drivers still require this hack after Tejun's patch set is applied? If yes, how about finding someone to fix this driver for good.
