Not sure, I didn't check with Linus yet. However I talked with DJ about
this for a long time and this seemed the only reasonable way to do it.

Note I didn't move the USB and ADB stuff which is still in the
respective directories. I only moved stuff out of drivers/char, which is
not a good place for input drivers anyway.

I like it better than one big input directory as well - now the problem
is how to sync CVS to this layout without losing history on all the
files.

I noticed only after I sent it out. I'll have to go through it again and
check what is different.
