Well, no ;) I was trying to make them separable. I will resping the
dynamic allocation patches, but I would also like to get sysfs part
going - there are bunch of locking issues (or rather absence of
locking ;) ) in input core and I would like to fix it but I don't want
to redo it later to account for sysfs rules. That's why I am pushing
to get some kind of sysfs resolution. Again, that "name override"
would go away later, I do not propose it as a permanant solution.
