Note that the evdev and input changes were done in a way that *should* be
100% backwards-compatible with all existing drivers. There were a few
bugs shaken out of the {g,s}etkeycodebig bits via linux-next, but no
problems reported since, that I'm aware of. The rest of the changes under
drivers/media/* just convert a bit of already-in-tree code over to using
ir-core, should also be fairly innocuous -- these ports were done and
tested by Mauro.
