    SubjectRe: 2.6.36/2.6.37: broken compatibility with userspace input-utils ?
    Or perhaps get rid of that unworkable "version number" thing
    (just freeze it in time with the 2.6.35 value returned),
    and implement a "get_feature_flags" ioctl or something for going forward.
    Then you can just turn on new bits in the flags as new features are added.

    It's a kludge (to get around the poor use of -EINVAL everywhere),
    but at least it's a design that's workable.

    Cheers
