There is nothing mac-specific about this driver. Non-mac hardware
with suboptimal built-in pointer devices exists.

This makes it possible to use this emulation not only on x86 and
ppc
notebooks but also on arm and mips.  

I'd rather we did not promote from drivers/macintosh to other
platforms, but rather removed it. The same functionality can be
done
from userspace.

What is the status of this?

Do you reply to every patch to drivers/input that is not the the core
infrastructure that you would rather drop the driver because it can
be
done is in userspace?

It sure can be done. Remove everything but the bus drivers and uinput
from drivers/input and the rest can be done in userspace.

The question is who does it?

Are you saying that you will implement the userspace equivalent?

If not then please do your job as maintainer and accept trivial
patches
for perfectly working drivers we have now.

If you want to move drivers/input into userspace I am not against it
but I am not willing to do that for you either.

I'd advise you to take it down a notch. We don't go yelling at each
other on this mailing-list.
