event subsystem: Define conference event types

event subsystem: Define conference event types

[Michael Büsch]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1782 bytes --]

In order to improve the media coverage of important developer
conference events, extend the Linux event subsystem by corresponding
event type numbers.

Instead of referring to events by cryptic acronyms that nobody
knows the real meaning of, use even shorter acronyms defined to
hexadecimal numbers that every real hacker is familiar with.
