Reviewed-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> for patches
#1, #3, #5, #6, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #17 (see comment below),
#18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26 (given a rename) and all given
the trunc() changes of course.

Simon already pointed out #16, reviewed-and-gone-crosseyed otherwise though.

However, some of the patches will conflict with a set I have in my tree
http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/5648/. Your #17 replicates some of
that, so it should be easy to resolve.

There are quite a few patches that could go in right now to give them a few
months of testing before we merge the new features. Interested in that? 

In fact, all except the POINTER_EMULATED patch and the actual integration of
the smooth scrolling.  None of the functionality should change here after
all.

Cheers,
