I'm not sure if /dev/health is better but I think having common API
for the machine's health is good thing. How about having /dev/power,
/dev/thermal or whatever related with machine's health as abstracted
layers, and creating API libraries for each subsystems like libpower,
then providing libhealth as full-set API for the applications?
