There's a trivial yet fairly important fix to hiddev.h in bk-input that
it would be nice to get merged before 2.6.8. Distros have been
shipping the current in-tree (broken) version with their kernel headers
packages so a number of userspace apps cannot build. I've broken out the
patch below.

There's also a hiddev oops-on-removal fix that ought to be merged fairly
soon, but I can understand if Vojtech wants that tested a bit longer
first.
