[PATCH] Input: mousedev - stop offering PS/2 to userspace by default

Evdev interface has been available for many years and by now everyone
is switched to using it, so let's stop offering /dev/input/mouseN
and /dev/psaux by default.

Makes sense to me.

Hi! There is one exception: gpm. Without /dev/input/mice it did not work 
correctly and IIRC gpm daemon is only one present in linux distributions 
for mouse support in linux console mode (ctrl+alt+f1). Disabling 
/dev/input/mice by default will lead to broken or non-working gpm.
