git://kernel.ubuntu.com/rydberg/maverick-input.git master
Henrik Rydberg (5):
Input: evdev - convert to dynamic event buffer
Input: evdev - use driver hint to compute size of event buffer
Input: bcm5974 - set the average number of events per MT event packet
Input: hid-input - use a larger event buffer for MT devices
Input: evdev - never leave the client buffer empty after write
Pulling these cherry-picks will fix a long-standing problem with occasionally
dropped events from devices that produce a lot of them, such as MT devices. The
patches are queued for 2.6.36 in Dmitry's tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git

This time around, there are no complicated buffer patches that might cause
unpleasant regressions. ;-)
