Ok, I did review the 6 patches, but as mentioned in few of them, I'd
rather see the deprecating patch series before, and then this one
applied. So that we do not insert an already deprecated API.

Just to be sure: the following uinput series will allow users to:
- create an libevdev device description
- fill it through the setters
- call a magical function which will create a uinput device
- inject events to the (virtual/real) device
If I'm wrong, then I don't get the purpose of this series.... :)

Cheers,
Benjamin
