User level driver support for input subsystem

Hi Marcelo,

this is a backport of the user level driver support for input subsystem from 2.6. Please consider including them into 2.4.24. We want to use it for Bluetooth HID devices which need access to the input subsystem from userspace.

Regards

Marcel
