[PATCH v4] Input: Add EVIOC mechanism for MT slots

[Henrik Rydberg]

This patch adds the ability to extract MT slot data via a new ioctl,
EVIOCGMTSLOTS. The function returns an array of slot values for the
specified ABS_MT event type.

Example of user space usage:

struct { unsigned code; int values[64]; } req;
req.code = ABS_MT_POSITION_X;
if (ioctl(fd, EVIOCGMTSLOTS(sizeof(req)), &req) < 0)
	return -1;
for (i = 0; i < 64; i++)
	printf("slot %d: %d\n", i, req.values[i]);

Here is the fourth version of the patch.

Rather than over-specifying the ioctl binary format by introducing a
struct object that does not fit everyone, this version simply leaves
all object definitions to userland.

Thanks,
Henrik
