Title:
  [SRU] Backport upstream multi-seat patches for Xephyr

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [UPDATE] All needed patches were already upstreamed (see [1] below).
  Please pick them rather than the ones attached here.

  Please consider including this patch series [1] for in Xenial's xorg-
  server package. It's a crucial one to get single-GPU multi-seat
  working in Ubuntu the easiest way (it works with all flavours that use
  LightDM as the default display manager), and would be a quite valuable
  feature for a LTS release, without need to maintain a forked package
  in Ubuntu Multiset PPA.

  I work with a large set of single-GPU multi-seat computers for
  education, and I'm trying to get these patches upstreamed in time for
  Xenial release, but I have no idea when Adam Jackson will get to
  review it.

  Some patches already released in 1.18.1 [2] also need to be backported
  to 1.17.x, in order to get kdrive evdev driver built automatically as
  expected, and avoid problems when unplugging input devices grabbed by
  Xephyr.
