Yes, unfortunately this is true. IMHO polling in kernel is a bad idea,
so for such devices he has to do it in user space.

Some hardware does tell you. The Amiga's floppy drives, which IIRC are
supported, generate interrupts under such circumstances.
In these cases you need kernel support. It seems to me that there's
no generic answer.
