Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] input: serio - allow others to specify a driver for a serio device

The Lenovo Thinkpads use RMI4 over SMBus in addition to PS/2 for their
trackpad. The problem is that the device doesn't enumerate itself besides
some registers in PS/2.

Once the initial PS/2 initialization has been made, we need a way to unbind
psmouse from the touchpad and use a different (dummy) serio driver to
not interfere with SMBus.

This patch adds the mechanisms to unbind psmouse and use a different serio
driver, driver which can be marked as manual_bind to not be picked up
by inadvertence.
