[PATCH v4 0/3] xfree86: Configure input devices by attributes

These patches add support in xorg.conf to apply input configuration to a
class of devices by attribute. The idea is to offer Xorg similar
property matching capabilities as the hal fdi system. Moving the
configuration back into the ddx means that some day we can stop doing it
from the config backend and asking users to adjust to it.
The mechanism used here is an InputClass section. Here is a contrived
example section showing all the current attribute matchers:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "My Mice"
MatchProduct "Mouse"
MatchVendor "Mouse Company"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
MatchIsPointer "yes"
MatchIsKeyboard "no"
MatchIsJoystick "no"
MatchIsTablet "no"
MatchIsTouchpad "no"
MatchIsTouchscreen "no"
Driver "evdev"
Option "InvertX" "on"
EndSection
Changes since v3:
* Bump ABI_XINPUT_VERSION for the addition of the InputAttributes argument
to NewInputDeviceRequest.
* Changed the InputAttributes flags to a uint32_t. 32 bits seemed plenty
big enough, but we can always make it bigger.
I think this is ready to go in now if there are no further comments.
