Hi All,

Here is a first RFC for the q8 tablet hw-manager I've been talking
about for a while now.

The touchscreen part is finished, I'll start working on the
accelerometer bits next.

This at least partially overlaps with the "overlay manager" just
posted. A dev board having different devices attached and a production
device have 2nd source components are not really different problems.
We need a common solution and can't have each platform making up their
own scheme.

To follow up discussions at ELC-E, I agree that we need a common solution (if
this has to happen in the kernel rather than in an earlier stage of the boot
process).

Otherwise, we're creating pseudo-board-files, and a whole new set of problems
for ourselves.

Thanks
Mark.
