First snapshot for evdev 2.2.

Lots of cleanup, and - most notably - general axis/button support.
For those running an X server from master, evdev will label axes and buttons
for you.

shortlog is a bit longer than it actually is, it includes a number of patches
that were cherry-picked onto 2.1 and have since been released.

Cheers,
  Peter

Dan Nicholson (2):
      Stop hammering XKB defaults
      Really fix distcheck

Fernando Carrijo (1):
      Fix error message

Julien Cristau (1):
      Fix TestBit() on 64bit

Matt Helsley (4):
      Add pressure valuator
      rename NBITS to NLONGS to reflect its actual meaning

Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade (1):
      Janitor: make distcheck, .gitignore.

Peter Breitenlohner (1):
      fix manpage formatting

Peter Hutterer (64):
      Bump to 2.1.99.
      Document InvertX/Y options.
      Document properties in man page.
      Add property support for ReopenAttempts option.
      Janitor: clean up xf86Msg use, might as well use X_CONFIG directly.
      Clean up program flow - don't call PreInit for "modules" on DEVICE_INIT.

      Rename DragLockInit to DragLockPreInit, remove superfluous "return".
      Tidy up evdev.h
      Don't include the client-side header anymore. xkbstr.h is server SDK.

      Don't post keycodes > 255.
      Add option "GrabDevice", don't grab the device by default.
      Init ioctl bitmasks to 0, shuts up valgrind too.
      MB emulation timeout is stored as Time, make the property 32-bit too.
      Silence compiler warning by memsetting the struct properly.
      emulate MB: fix confusing log message.
      Fix axis inversion for absolute coordinates.
      emuMB: add EvdevMBEmuOn and call from EvdevOn to register wakeup handlers.
      Flush input after re-opening the fd.
      Remove obsolete FIXME
      Treat BTN_[0-2] as LMR buttons if necessary.
      Add test/ directory for uinput-based test devices.
      Add support for run-time calibration.
      Add support for axes swapping.
      Store device file's minor/major to avoid duplicate devices.
      Finalize MB emu (and wakeup handlers) before closing the fd.
      Add dummy test device - simple device that doesn't move at all.
      Test for pressure BEFORE using has_pressure.
      Register the property handler AFTER setting all the properties.
      Don't print xkb options twice to the log file.
      Add automatic axis labeling.

      Deal with XINPUT ABI 5.
      Reshuffle property initialization.
      Protect against zero-sized property values. #19882
      Remove useless include directive.

      Remove superfluous motion history allocation.
      Log which EVIOCGABS ioctl failed.
      Remove unused 'screen' variable from the EvdevRec.
      Change cached bitmasks from long to unsigned long.
      CacheCompare before probing the device.
      Swap axes after scaling, not before.
      man: Fix two minor typos in man page.
      man: list the options and properties in alphabetical order.
      remove duplicate (code > 255) check.
      Add dynamic axis labelling for absolute devices.
      Add generic axis support for relative axes.
      Remove superfluous (and duplicate) call to xf86MotionHistoryAllocate.
      Add support for arbitrary relative axis labels.
      Accommodate for holes in the ABS label defines.
      Label axes conditional on actual support.
      Revert "Remove useless include directive."
      Split ReadInput into ReadInput and ProcessEvent.
      Pass on all relative events, not just x/y.
      Ignore REL_WHEEL, REL_HWHEEL and REL_DIAL during axis initialisation.
      If scrollwheels are found, bump the button number by 4 (or up to 7).
      Don't double-assign the UKNOWN axis label.
      Rename prop_label to prop_axis_label.
