It *was* loaded automatically, and I didn't specifically asked it to be
loaded, but I'm not sure if other parts of userspace forced it to be
loaded. I will disable it, then.

Here is the relevant part of the config file:

,----[ grep -i evbug /boot/config-4.9.0-040900rc6-generic ]
| CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG=m
`----


Thanks,
