Subject: [git pull] Input updates for 2.6.26-rc8

Hi Linus,

Please pull from:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git for-linus
or
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git for-linus

to receive updates for the input subsystem. You will get a new keycode
definition and changes to force-feedback core locking that bring it in
sync with the recent locking changes in the input core. While these
locking changes have not been exposed in 'next' I feel they should make
into 2.6.26, because right now FF is simply broken - input_event takes a
spinlock and then calls input_ff_event that tries to take a mutex.

Changelog:
---------

Bastien Nocera (1):
      Input: add KEY_MEDIA_REPEAT definition

Dmitry Torokhov (1):
      Input: fix locking in force-feedback core
