Hi,

I want to merge unicore32 repo into linux-next tree, the position is (unicore32 branch):
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/epip/linux-2.6-unicore32.git
Have these changes been reviewed at all? Looking at the input parts I
doubt it... We try _really_ hard to avoid sprinkling arch #ifedefs in
the common code.
Many people helped me to review the patchset in linux-arch and linux-kernel mailist.
For ps2 driver, perhaps I should not introduce bugfix for the machine, so I remove the additional
modification, and only i8042 is necessary.
The patchset is rebased, and git dir and branch name remain the same.
Please update.
So, for input:

- how big is the difference between standard keytable and the one you
  are introducing? Looks like you are just adding 5 new keys that are
  not critical for booting. So please just update keymap from userpsace
  as we do for countless laptops and keyboards out there.
I understand.
And I remove the keytable.
- Trying to enable mouse 1000 times can lead to loooong delays. Have
  you tried to figure out why you need the loop?

- What kind of mice can be connected to teh devices? I am concerned that
  your super-strict protocol checks will cause more harm then good (i do
  not believe they are valied in general case, overflow is just and
  additional bit).

Please split changes related into logically separated patches and post
them on linux-input@vger.kernel.org (along with linux-kernel if you
prefer) for review and comments.

Thanks.
