Vojtech should we start sending out input drivers to the LKML for testing

Yeah!!!!!!

The only thing is the issue of where the drivers go. In drivers/input or
in drivers/char. You know I prefere driers/input.

But Linus prefers otherwise. USB input drivers will stay in drivers/usb,
AT keyboard et cetera may stay in drivers/char, or we can put them in
drivers/serio or we may be able to persuade Linus drivers/input is fine
for them. Same for joysticks possibly in drivers/gameport.

For a long time this will be the case.

Yuck. First thing we should do is move input in front of char in the
Config.in files. I defintely want to move serio.c into drivers/input to
end the insanity of the current system. I will make a patch tonight.
