I have done that last Friday, didn't show up yet until test5-pre3. My 
immediate reason is that I would like to use the input layer for the 
CONFIG_ADB stuff, even if CONFIG_USB is not set and moving the input 
drivers in their own dir seems to be the cleanest solution.

Well, all links I followed so far point to there in the end, and the input 
layer CVS is hosted there too.

Agreed. And that setup is already realized in the input layer CVS, so doing 
the move now would greatly simplify further input driver additions/merges 
during the 2.4 cycle.
