Apparently some users of managed input devices are confused whether
input_unregister_device() is needed when working with them. Clarify
this in the kernel doc for devm_input_allocate_device(): in most cases
there is no need to call neither input_unregister_device() nor
input_free_device() when working with managed devices.

There is a demand from driver's writers to use managed devices framework
for their drivers. Unfortunately up to this moment input devices did not
provide support for managed devices and that lead to mixing two styles
of resource management which usually introduced more bugs, such as
manually unregistering input device but relying in devres to free
interrupt handler which (unless device is properly shut off) can cause
ISR to reference already freed memory.
This change introduces devm_input_allocate_device() that will allocate
managed instance of input device so that driver writers who prefer
using devm_* framework do not have to mix 2 styles.

Extend the amount of character devices, such as eventX, mouseX and jsX,
from a hard limit of 32 per input handler to about 1024 shared across
all handlers.
To be compatible with legacy installations input handlers will start
creating char devices with minors in their legacy range, however once
legacy range is exhausted they will start allocating minors from the
dynamic range 256-1024.

Merge Henrik's updates to multitouch code. Even though Jiri already
pulled them in I need to do it too since my changes to evdev using
dynamic major would clash with them.
On heavy event loads, such as a multitouch driver, the irqsoff latency
can be as high as 250 us. By accumulating a frame worth of data
before passing it on, the latency can be dramatically reduced. As a
side effect, the special EV_SYN handling can be removed, since the
frame is now atomic.
This patch adds the events() handler callback and uses it if it
exists. The latency is improved by 50 us even without the callback.

For some EV_KEY types, sending a larger-than-one value causes the
input state to oscillate. This patch makes sure this cannot happen,
clearing up the autorepeat bypass logic in the process.

The events-per-packet estimate has so far been used by MT devices
only. This patch adjusts the packet buffer size to also accomodate the
KEY and MSC events. Keyboards normally send one or two keys at a
time. MT devices normally send a number of button keys along with the
MT information. The buffer size chosen here covers those cases, and
matches the default buffer size in evdev. Since the input estimate is
now preferred, remove the special input-mt estimate.

This reverts commit 5fdbe44d03.
Apparently there exist userspace programs that expect to be able to
"loop back" and distribute to readers events written into
/dev/input/eventX and this change made for the benefit of SysRq
handler broke them. Now that SysRq uses alternative method to suppress
filtering of the events it re-injects we can safely revert this change.

Looking at the uevent stream for input devices, all properties are on
the form "A=B" except the bitmap values, which are on the form
"A==B". This bug has been around at least since 2007, and the input
uevent code has been untouched since. The recent addition of device
properties suggests this is a good time for a remedy.

Today, userspace sets up an input device based on the data it emits.
This is not always enough; a tablet and a touchscreen may emit exactly
the same data, for instance, but the former should be set up with a
pointer whereas the latter does not need to. Recently, a new type of
touchpad has emerged where the buttons are under the pad, which
changes logic without changing the emitted data. This patch introduces
a new ioctl, EVIOCGPROP, which enables user access to a set of device
properties useful during setup. The properties are given as a bitmap
in the same fashion as the event types, and are also made available
via sysfs, uevent and /proc/bus/input/devices.
