I know your intent is noble in trying to save the 32 bits on 64 bit
machines (at least thats where your patch seems to have started) but the
cost:benefit ratio as i have pointed out is unreasonable. 

Did I ever claim this? You made this up right now. As of now
it doesn't save a single bit.

Right.

From what I can see Thomas's work allows to do correct

reference counting on the input_dev, something which is
not possible right now and is a bug.
