Adds evdev support to kdrive

The default keymapping didn't work for me. I created a patch which contains the
default keymapping from Xorg's evdev driver.

I'm not able to test it because I use a Brazillian ABNT2 keyboard. I'm trying to
figure out the right way to map the keyboard. I don't know if I'm supposed to
map the keys in kernel space or within the X server.

I'm changing the product field since kdrive was merged in the xorg tree.

any chance you could rework this so that it applies against the input-hotplug
branch of xserver?

I'm willing to do it. Is there any documentation about the changes in this branch?

not really, though you could look at the diff of, say, linux/ps2.c.

basically, you need to register a driver.  instead of carrying around a type
number, you now just get KdPointerInfo * and KdKeyboardInfo *s for every
function you provide.  so from Init, Enable, Disable, Fini.  pass that as your
closure into KdRegisterFd, and call KdPostPointerEvent (or whatever it's called)
with that, and there's also a z parameter too.  i think that's about it.

fyi, this has now been merged into master.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
