The INJECT_EVENTS permission will never be granted to an application.  None
of the android applications rely on it.

The CALL_PRIVILEDGED permission is a little more tricky; having an open
mechanism able to call emergency services has a lot of scary legal and other
issues around it, so though a carrier could open it up I don't know if that
will happen.  At least we were able to negotiate open access to placing
phone calls for everything except emergency numbers.  At some point you
count your blessings. :}
