Catching up with emails after having been off-line for a week.
I probably missed a number of emails, so anybody who feels left out, just
re-send, please.
This one is all over the map, with input, USB etc updates, mixed with lots
of fixes from Rusty's trivial patchbot, and NFS client updates.

----Summary of changes from v2.5.25 to v2.5.26 ============================================
<agrover@acpi3.(none)>: o Toshiba laptops enable special functionality via an ACPI device.

This is done by polling the i8042 chip when its interrupts are not enabled. o Unregister an AUX/KBD port if the interrupt cannot be ever claimed o Updated Config.in from Johann Deneux, which should fix o Remove number member from struct gameport. Not needed o Add a driver for the Bitsy touchscreen o Update the HID drivers to latest version o Fix pid.c build when built as a module o Add a driver for X-Box gamepads. While they have quite normal data format, they cannot be handled by HID, because they lack the descriptors and have completely nonstandard interface class. o Make USB HID/PID force feedback an experimental option o This cset adds uinput the userspace input driver by Aristeu Sergio Rozanski Filho. o This cset adds the Newton keyboard driver o Franz Sirl's ADB/PPC keyboard handling update - move fully to using the input core o Add key definitions for set-top boxes o Modify i8042.c to be able to support non-isa based archs which use i8042-alike keyboard controllers, namely PPC. Patch by Franz Sirl.
