+\section{Input Device}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device}
+
+The virtio input device can be used to create virtual human interface
+devices such as keyboards, mice and tables.  It basically sends linux
+input layer events over virtio.
+See \url{file:///usr/include/linux/input.h}.
+
+\subsection{Device ID}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device / Device ID}
+
+18
+
+\subsection{Virtqueues}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device / Virtqueues}
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[0] eventq
+\item[1] statusq
+\end{description}
+
+\subsection{Feature bits}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device / Feature bits}
+
+None.
+
+\subsection{Device configuration layout}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device / Device configuration layout}
+
+Device configuration holds all information the guest needs to handle
+the device, most importantly the events which are supported.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+enum virtio_input_config_select {
+	VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_UNSET      = 0x00,
+	VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ID_NAME    = 0x01,
+	VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ID_SERIAL  = 0x02,
+	VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ID_SEAT    = 0x03,
+	VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_PROP_BITS  = 0x10,
+	VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_EV_BITS    = 0x11,
+	VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ABS_INFO   = 0x12,
+};
+
+struct virtio_input_absinfo {
+	le32  min;
+	le32  max;
+	le32  fuzz;
+	le32  flat;
+};
+
+struct virtio_input_config {
+	u8    select;
+	u8    subsel;
+	u8    size;
+	u8    reserved;
+	union {
+		char string[128];
+		u8   bitmap[128];
+		struct virtio_input_absinfo abs;
+	} u;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+To query a specific piece of information the driver MUST set
+\field{select} and \field{subsel} accordingly, then check \field{size}
+to see and how much information is available.  \field{size} can be
+zero if no information is available.
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ID_NAME]
+\field{subsel} is not used and MUST be zero.
+Returns the name of the device, in \field{u.string}.
+
+Same as EVIOCGNAME ioctl for linux evdev devices.
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ID_SERIAL]
+\field{subsel} is not used and MUST be zero.
+Returns the serial number of the device, in \field{u.string}.
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ID_SEAT]
+\field{subsel} is not used and MUST be zero.
+Returns the seat the device should be assigned to, in \field{u.string}.
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_PROP_BITS]
+\field{subsel} is not used and MUST be zero.
+Returns input properties (INPUT_PROP_*) of the device, in \field{u.bitmap}.
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_EV_BITS]
+\field{subsel} specifies the event type (EV_*).  If \field{size} is
+non-zero the event type is supported and a bitmap the of supported
+event codes is returned in \field{u.bitmap}.
+
+Same as EVIOCGBIT ioctl.
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ABS_INFO]
+\field{subsel} specifies the absolute axes (ABS_*).
+Informations about the axis will be returned in \field{u.abs}.
+
+Same as EVIOCGABS ioctl.
+
+\end{description}
+
+\subsection{Device Initialization}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device / Device Initialization}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The device is queried for supported event types and codes.
+\item The eventq is populated with receive buffers.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Device Operation}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device / Device Operation}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Input events such as press and release events for keys and
+  buttons and motion events are send from the device to the driver
+  using the eventq.
+\item Status feedback such as keyboard led updates are sent from the
+  driver to the device using the statusq.
+\item Both queues use the same virtio_input_event struct.
+  \field{type}, \field{code} and \field{value} are filled according to
+  the linux input layer (evdev) interface, except that the fields are
+  in little endian byte order whereas the evdev ioctl interface uses
+  native endian.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_input_event {
+	le16 type;
+	le16 code;
+	le32 value;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\subsection{TODO List}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device / TODO List}
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[Multitouch]
+Just EVIOCGMTSLOTS -> cfgspace I think.
+Maybe add feature flag for this?
+\end{description}
