Peter wants to get a larger patch sequence put together and I didn't
read past the commit message to see the 'don't take this patch
please'.
This reverts commit 531ff40301.
Some input drivers need to implement an internal hotplugging scheme for
dependent devices to provide multiple X devices off one kernel device file.
Such dependent devices can be added with NewInputDeviceRequest() but they are
not removed when the config backend calls DeleteInputDeviceRequest(),
leaving the original device to clean up.
Example of the wacom driver:
config/udev calls NewInputDeviceRequest("stylus")
wacom PreInit calls
NewInputDeviceRequest("eraser")
NewInputDeviceRequest("pad")
NewInputDeviceRequest("cursor")
PreInit finishes.
When the device is removed, the config backend only calls
DeleteInputDeviceRequest for "stylus". The driver needs to call
DeleteInputDeviceRequest for the dependent devices eraser, pad and cursor to
clean up properly.
However, when the server terminates, DeleteInputDeviceRequest is called for
all devices - the driver must not remove the dependent devices to avoid
double-frees. There is no method for the driver to detect why a device is
being removed, leading to elaborate guesswork and some amount of wishful
thinking.
Though the input driver's UnInit already supports flags, they are unused.
This patch uses the flags to supply information where the
DeleteInputDeviceRequest request originates from, allowing a driver to
selectively call DeleteInputDeviceRequest when necessary.
Also bumps XINPUT ABI.

The only remaining X-functions used in server are XNF*, the rest is converted to
plain alloc/calloc/realloc/free/strdup.
X* functions are still exported from server and x* macros are still defined in
header file, so both ABI and API are not affected by this change.

Input events are directed to both vt and input devices by default.
Unless input devices are grabbed, keyboard events fill it vt buffers
and cause spontaneous wakeups in kernel tty layer when buffers are full.

A grep on xorg/* revealed there's no consumer of this define.
Quote Alan Coopersmith:
"The consumer was in past versions of the headers now located
in proto/x11proto - for instance, in X11R6.0's xc/include/Xproto.h,
all the event definitions were only available if NEED_EVENTS were
defined, and all the reply definitions required NEED_REPLIES.
Looks like Xproto.h dropped them by X11R6.3, which didn't have
the #ifdef's anymore, so these are truly ancient now."

I exported the evdev driver to Xephyr server. I'm running it using something
like:
$ ./hw/kdrive/ephyr/Xephyr :1 -mouse evdev,,device=/dev/input/event4 -keybd \
evdev,,device=/dev/input/event1,xkbmodel=abnt2,xkblayout=br
It also closes /#5668.
Convert KDrive to GPE/GKE interface.
Add first-class drivers and enumerate every device separately through
Xi, instead of lamely attempting to aggregate them.
Add XKB support to the Linux keyboard driver.
Add 'thumb button' support to the tslib driver.
Rejig InitInput, so each DDX has to add a list of drivers it supports.
Support NewInputDeviceRequest, et al.
