The hwmon class if for hardware monitoring and not sensors in general.
There is a separate project for so-called "industrial I/O" devices,
which include the devices you mention (accelerometer, gyrometer, etc.)
It isn't merged in the kernel yet. You can read the discussions about
it here:
  http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/23/163
If you have an interest in this then I suggest that you get in touch
with Jonathan Cameron (Cc'd). I don't know if the project has a mailing
list or home yet.
