Ok. Though even in that case... can we verify the known instances of
userspace code using those files directly ? They -might- cope with a
switch to hex and 0x prefix... or not. I wouldn't expect much user code
to directly manipulate the sysfs files, I would expect that to be done
via libspe most of the time, so if the later works....
