Is it ok that in /drivers/input/serio/i8042.c it's allowed to install
only one i8042_filter? Theoretically, there may be several different
devices that need their drivers to install i8042_filter, to eat out
some device-specific subset of scancodes. Shouldn't that single
pointer to the i8042_filter be replaced by a list, for example?

The expectation that there will be a single platform specific driver
living in drivers/platform/x86/... that will install platform specific
filter and will do all necessary processing. So far there was no need
for more than one filter.
Thanks.
