Actually, the hid driver will only handle the USB and HID stuff in the
next version, the input bindings will be moved to a separate
(hid-input.c) file. There will be also be a cooked hid access device
(hiddev.c), that'll allow writing and reading HID fields etc from
userspace without the input layer inbetween. Useful for monitors and
UPSes.
