Subject: [PATCH 0/2] input: mt: Add EVIOC mechanism for MT slots

These patches are in response to the discussion about input state
retrieval.

The current EVIOCGABS method does not work with MT slots.  These
patches provides a mechanism where a slot is first selected via a call
to EVIOCSABS, after which the corresponding MT events can be extracted
with calls to EVIOCGABS.

The symmetric operation, to set the MT state via EVIOCSABS, seems to
violate input data integrity, and is therefore not implemented.
