Usually, the console is set to RAW in the kbd driver. If we hotplug all input
devices (i.e. the evdev driver for keyboards) and the console is left as-is.
As a result, the evdev driver must put an EVIOCGRAB on the device to avoid
characters leaking onto the console. This again breaks many things, amongst
them lirc, in-kernel mouse button emulation and HAL.
This patch sets the console to RAW if AllowEmptyInput is on.
Use-cases:
1. AEI is off
1.1. Only kbd driver is used - behaviour as-is.
1.2. kbd and evdev driver is used: if evdev does not grab the device,
duplicate events are generated.
2. AEI is on
2.1. Only evdev driver is used - behaviour as-is, but evdev does not need
to grab the device anymore.
2.2. evdev and kbd are used: duplicate key events are generated if evdev
does not grab the device.
1.2 is a marginal use-case that can be fixed by adding a "grab" option to the
evdev driver (update of xorg.conf is needed).
2.2 is an issue. If we have no ServerLayout section, AEI is on, but devices
specified in the xorg.conf are still added [1], resulting in duplicate events.
This is a common configuration and needs sorting out.

I've seen about one case in three years where this has actually been
correlated with the real cause of failure, and we've trained people to
freak out about X_WARNING, so let's be less alarmist.
Very cute, Samsung, not only do you claim to be 16cm by 9cm in the
global size record, you also claim to be 160mm by 90mm in the detailed
timings. Grrr.
NIDR should be used to create a new SD from e.g. within a driver.
DIDR should be used to remove a device from the server.

If you need to bail out the server, use Ctrl-Alt-Fx, or enable zapping
if it bothers you that much. If Ctrl-Alt-Fx is broken, nag me until
it's permanently fixed.
The nvidia driver currently uses these hooks to work around problems where RAC
will disable access to the hardware at unexpected times. This change restores
these hooks until we can come up with a better API for working around RAC.
This reverts commit c1df4fbede.

Some BIOSes (hi XGI!) will attempt to enumerate the PCI bus by asking
for the config space of every possible device number. This despite
perfectly functional BIOS methods to enumerate the bus exactly.
