There is a race between input handler's release() and disconnect()
methods: when input handler disconnects it wakes up all regular
users and then process to walk user list to wake up async. users.
While disconnect() walks the list release() removes elements of
the same list causing oopses.
While this is not a substibute for proper locking we can reduce
odds of getting an oops if we wake up normal readers after walking
the list.

Fixed up conflicts with core device model removal of "struct subsystem" manually.

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and
ktypes. The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this,
especially as it is not really needed at all.
Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch.

Pete Zaitcev reports that with his touchpad, if he lifts the finger
and places it elsewhere, the pointer sometimes warps dramatically.
This happens because we don't store coordinates unless we detect a
touch so sometimes we have stale coordinates in queue (from where
the finger left the pad) and averaging makes cursor to jump across
the screen. The solution is to always store the latest coordinates.

The naming convention in input handlers was very confusing -
client stuctures were called lists, regular lists were also
called lists making anyone looking at the code go mad.

- consolidate code for binding handlers to a device
- return error codes from handlers connect() methods back to input
core and log failures

In mousedev the BTN_LEFT and BTN_FORWARD were mapped to mouse button 0,
causing that the user space program cannot distinguish between them through
/dev/input/mice. All mice have BTN_LEFT, but not all have BTN_MIDDLE (e.g.
Clevo D410J laptop). Mapping BTN_FORWARD to mouse button 2 makes the
BTN_FORWARD button useful on this laptop.

Apparently, "while true; do cat </dev/null >/dev/input/mice; done" causes
an OOM in a short amount of time. Funny that nobody noticed, it actually
is very easy to trigger just by switching between VT1 and VT7...

This creates symlinks in /sys/class/input/ to the nested class devices
to help userspace cope with the nesting.
Unfortunatly udev still needs to be updated as it can't handle symlinks
properly here :(

The previous patch adding the ability to nest struct class_device
changed the paramaters to the call class_device_create(). This patch
fixes up all in-kernel users of the function.

Do not send empty events to gpm. (Keyboards are assumed to have scroll
wheel these days, that makes them part-mouse. That means typing on
keyboard generates empty mouse events).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
