There is no need to issue serialize_rcu() after adding a new handle
to the list of handles associated with the device because new events
will "see" the new handle in the list immediately. Remove it so we
can boot a little bit faster.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

Whenever you press and then release a key, the CPU wakes up
three times:
* press
* release
* autorepeat timer exactly 250ms after press
The autorepeat timer has nothing to do, obviously, since you already
have released the key, so stop it on key release.
[dtor@mail.ru: This changes autorepeat behavior a bit since we now stop
autorepeat even if key that is being released is not the one that is
being auto-repeated, but I believe the new behavior is better.]

Remove proc_bus export and variable itself. Using pathnames works fine
and is slightly more understandable and greppable.

Cdev field was obsolete and provided only for backward compatibility
since conversion of input core from class devices to regular devices.
It is time to remove it.

Take dev->event_lock to make sure that we don't race with input_event() and
also force key up event when removing a key from keymap table.

input_handle_event() used to pass EV_PWR events to event handlers
but no longer does so in 2.6.23. Modules to trigger power management
events based on input power events exist but rely on the EV_PWR events
being passed to the input event handlers.

RT guys alerted me to the fact that in their tree spinlocks
are preemptible and it is better to use full RCU API
(rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()) to be safe.

This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.
Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
error handling.

This is essentially just a renaming of the existing functions
as copies of seq_list_start() and seq_list_next() already existed
in the input.c.

Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.
Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).
