Myself I think we need it to be in the kernel. You can't talk to
keyboard, joysticks and non-serial mice in userland. And while
their drivers have to be in the kernel, the main driver should
be there as well, this would simplify things a lot.
I would't put it into the official kernel anyway. I'd suggest
creating a package of modules module for this ... with integrating
into kernel sources later, when the thing becomes stable and
proves to be useful.
