>   o Fix i8042.c to ignore fake key releases generated by AT keyboard in

>     shift remained stuck.
>   o This is the last and most important step in the input core
>     conversion
>   o This (re)implements getkeycode/setkeycode, kbd_rate and kd_mksound
>     as functions interfacing to the input core. PC-Speaker handling is
>     moved to a separate file. Uinput is moved to a input/misc
>     directory.
>   o Shorten the keycode handling code in keyboard.c and evdev.c
>   o Fix bits that have fallen out when merging input-based keyboard.c
>     into 2.5 - kbd0 init, sysrq support, show_regs, show_mem,
>     show_state support, correct handling of shifts across vt switches,
>     console blanking, console callback. Hope that's all.
>   o Always build input.o in - avoid build problems with keyboard.c
>   o Add mouse model reporting into psmouse.c
>   o Fix a dangling 'else' after removing ps/2 keyboard support
