Access the linux_2.6.36 SPI Drivers from Userspace?

Does anyone know how to access the linux_2.6.36 SPI Drivers from Userspace? If so, could you explain?

Also, it appears that SPI-DEV (not SPIDEV) has been removed.  Is there a replacement in the works? I could sure use one that lets me change the SPI Speed after I bring up the SPI Device.

Thanks

I'm don't know what the difference is between spi-dev and spidev, but spidev allows the spi speed to be changed with an ioctl. Documentation/spi/ contains information about how to use it from userspace, and you can also look at drivers/spi/spidev.c
