This version implements buffer locking using event_lock as you
suggested, such that we can proceed with fixing the evdev buffer
problem independently from providing a suitable one-to-many buffer.

The first patch converts the per-client buffers to a common buffer,
and adds a fixme since the code is expected to be further
improved. The second and third patch includes your review comments.

Henrik,

Applied to .36 queue with minor adjustments, please take a peek in my
'for-linus' branch and see if you spot anything wrong. 

Hi Dmitry,

I guess you forgot to push it to kernel.org? Last change I see in your 
tree is 6 days old.

Thanks,

... which seems like a lucky strike; the patch has a blatant security hole,
leaking grabbed events to listening clients after ungrab. I sent an updated
patch to Dmitry earlier today, in a brown paper bag. Not knowing if the original
patch was actually applied or not, I thought I had better hold on to the change
just a little bit.
