If you want to keep the current state of affairs I can see in the
linuxppc_2_3 tree, there's not much point in using machid.c, AFAICS. On the
other hand, if you plan to integrate your input drivers into 2.4, it makes
perfect sense.

I think it would be nice, but to be honest I don't fully understand what would
be involved.

I hope this is _not_ about translating whatever-keyboard-type-keycodes to
PC-style keycodes? We (ehrm, I) already opened that can of worms somewhere in
1995, and closed it ASAP.

I don't recall the details (and have no list archives that far back) but
it wasn't a bit pretty. But at that time there was no generic HID support
to use, and that might make a difference now (if it works for ADB
keyboards it might work for Amiga as well).
