I have electro-mechanical brakes and resolvers on 6-axis robot and would 
like to restore last positions of joints between LinuxCNC sessions. I 
tried to use position file and it seems to work perfectly, except when 
using HOME_OFFSET. In such case the restored positions are wrong.

My idea is to avoid homing, because it would not be needed with 
resolvers and brakes all the times LinuxCNC quits normally.

I am thinking of two ways:
1. Make two ways of "homing" - one for normal use, just set all joints 
as homed, and another one when referencing is lost and a real re-homing 
is needed. I don't know how to set up this yet.
2. Make smart homing of my own, which decides what to do..

Anyway, I feel that I will not be able to set axis-is-homed from a hal 
component. But I can imitate home-switch-in signals.

More thoughts?..
