I've spent some time debugging and cleaning this up further; I found a
couple of deadlocks, and then I also fixed mieqEnqueue to resize the
input event queue when it gets full, rather than dropping events on the
floor.

I also split out the removal of the SIGIO code from xf86 so that DRI1
can continue to 'work' if we like; simply not pulling the two patches
involved will leave it all in place while still eliminating the use of
SIGIO for input handling.

I've pushed this to

        git://people.freedesktop.org/~keithp/xserver.git input-thread

I've also rebased my remaining eliminate_fd_set patches on top of this
series:

        git://people.freedesktop.org/~keithp/xserver.git eliminate_fd_set

This series now eliminates AddEnabledDevice and AddGeneralSocket from
the OS API so that we'll catch drivers using these in ways that won't
work anymore. I still need to do a libXfont release at some point.

I can send patches to the list if people like.
