The two users of EV_SW I'm aware of are corgikbd.c and spitzkbd.c. Speaking as the maintainer of the kernel builds for the main users of Zaurus 2.6 kernels, I can safely say that those two drivers are always likely to be compiled into a kernel (not modules) and therefore this is unlikely to upset anyone from a technical point of view.
