The start() method need to be called every time we create
a new handle. This includes not only registering new devices
but also when registering new handlers.

Create input_inject_event() function which is to be used by input
handlers as opposed to input_event() which is reserved for drivers
implementing input devices. The difference is that if device is
"grabbed" by some process input_inject_event() will ignore events
unless sent from the handle that is currently owns the device.

The new start() method is called immediately after connect() and also
when "grabbed" device is released by its owner. This will allow input
handlers to re-synchronize state of once-grabbed device with the rest
of devices.

It should be done before calling class_device_unregister() because
it will destroy the device and free memory if there are no other
references to the device.

Name, phys and uniq are quite often constant strings in moules implementing
particular input device. If a module unregisters input device and then gets
unloaded, the device could still be present in memory (pinned via sysfs),
but aforementioned members would point to some random memory. Set them all
to NULL when unregistering so sysfs handlers won't try dereferencing them.

sysfs can't handle more than PAGE_SIZE data coming from attributes'
show() methods; make sure we respect this limit.

Mark the f_ops members of inodes as const, as well as fix the
ripple-through this causes by places that copy this f_ops and then "do
stuff" with it.

Avoid doing assignments to a live ->fops so it can be marked as 'const'.

Here's the patch for modalias support for input classes. It uses
comma-separated numbers, and doesn't describe all the potential keys (no
module currently cares, and that would make the strings huge). The
changes to input.h are to move the definitions needed by file2alias
outside __KERNEL__. I chose not to move those definitions to
mod_devicetable.h, because there are so many that it might break compile
of something else in the kernel.
The rest is fairly straightforward.

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling
real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.

It makes zero sense to have hotplug, but not the netlink
events enabled today. Remove this option and merge the
kobject_uevent.h header into the kobject.h header file.
