This series covers the changes that were brought up once user_events went into 5.18. The largest change is moving away from byte index to a bit index, as first suggested by Mathieu Desnoyers. The other changes are either fixes that have accumulated or found by Mathieu. NOTE: The sample and self-tests do not build unless you manually install user_events.h into usr/include/linux.
