Subject: input: allow certain EV_ABS events to bypass all filtering
From: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>
With the upcoming multi-touch interface as an example, there is a need to
make certain that all reported events actually get passed to the event
handler. This patch equips the input core with the ability to bypass all
filtering for certain EV_ABS events.
