I really want classes to be able to have "parent" classes someday. It's not that tough of a change to the driver core, if someone wants to do the work. That would enable this input stuff to be cleaner, right? It would also allow us to move the /sys/block stuff to use classes, which it can't right now due to the lack of the parent ability. thanks, greg k-h
