Alright. But maybe we should add an interface for the frontends to
notify the api about status changes. I've not checked the ves* fe's but
our Atmel and TDA fe's are able to trigger an irq as soon as a state
change happens. As far as i've understand the api, there is no way to
make use of this capability.
