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.

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

Input: remove custom-made hotplug handler
Now that all input devices are registered with sysfs we can remove
old custom-made hotplug handler and crate a standard one.

entry->proc_fops is a pointer to struct file_operations. When we
call create_proc_entry(...), it pointis to proc_file_operations,
deep in fs/proc/generic.c. By adding a 'poll' member to this struct
we effectively force the 'poll' member on every file in /proc,
which is wrong (they all fail select(...) calls).
This patch changes a copy of entry->proc_fops and reassigns it rather
than changing the original member.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
