There has been good documentations for Kernel 3.8. But the kernel changed
and the docs got out of date.

libpruio is not out of date. It builds and runs on each kernel since 3.8.
And so does the users code compiled against libpruio.
The current BB repos don't contain the libpruio packages. They never
contained libpruio packages (exept the LKM). So if you don't want to build
from source, ask RCN or Jason Kridner. (Or switch back to Jessie for a
comfortable binary installation by the package manager.)
libpruio provides extra execution speed. But the main advantage is the
steep learning curve. It does all kind of pin-muxing. And if a pin is
claimed by an other process it shows the process name in the error message.
And if the user cannot (or temprary will not) resolve the conflict,
libpruio can override the claim (admin privilegues).
Hardware configuration gets as easy as on the Arduino, but with the power
of a full featured LINUX system.
