[PATCH libevdev 0/4] Support the new uinput ioctls

As of kernel 4.5 we have new ioctls that we can use to create uinput
devices. Most important, these allow for setting abs.resolution on absolute
axes. previously, this had to be done separately and after the device
creation, making the resolution prone to race conditions.

If we're on 4.5 we always use the new method, otherwise we fall back to the
old method.

Cheers,
  Peter
