Re: [PATCH] Input: Add ioctl to block suspend while event queue is not empty.

I have two questions to start with, if you don't mind:

(1) Does Android user space use an analogous interface right now or is it
    a prototype?

(2) What exactly are the use cases for it (ie. what problem does it address
    that cannot be addressed in a different way)?
