It is my hope to help with the implementation of some sort of CM 
abstraction.

I agree with the comments on the API, but haven't looked at the 
implementation in enough detail to say anything about its operation.

Somewhat on a side note, AT appears to be the only way to connect from 
userspace without hard-coding values or interfacing directly with the 
MAD layer itself.  Do we want to expose SA query to userspace or rely on 
AT?  I'm leaning towards the latter at the moment.
