Input: uinput - add new UINPUT_DEV_SETUP and UI_ABS_SETUP ioctl This adds two new ioctls, UINPUT_DEV_SETUP and UI_ABS_SETUP, that replaces the old device setup method (by write()'ing "struct uinput_user_dev" to the node). The old method is not easily extendable and requires huge payloads. Furthermore, overloading write() without properly versioned objects is error-prone. Therefore, we introduce two new ioctls to replace the old method. These ioctls support all features of the old method, plus a "resolution" field for absinfo. Furthermore, it's properly forward-compatible to new ABS codes and a growing "struct input_absinfo" structure. UI_ABS_SETUP also allows user-space to skip unknown axes if not set. There is no need to copy the whole array temporarily into the kernel, but instead the caller issues several ioctl where we copy each value manually.

Input: uinput - add UI_GET_SYSNAME ioctl to retrieve the sysfs path uinput is used in the xorg-integration-tests suite and in the wayland test suite. These automated tests suites create many virtual input devices and then hook something to read these newly created devices. Currently, uinput does not provide the created input device, which means that we rely on an heuristic to guess which input node was created. The problem is that is heuristic is subjected to races between different uinput devices or even with physical devices. Having a way to retrieve the sysfs path allows us to find without any doubts the event node.
