Hi,

These patches fixes a long-standing problem with occasionally dropped
events from devices that produce a lot of them, such as MT devices.

I sent these as a pull request yesterday, for convenience, but in case
this is the preferred method, here they are in patch form. These
commits are queued for 2.6.36 at

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git

Thanks,
Henrik

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
