It looks Dmitry may be on leave and there is no ACK from any input driver
maintainers. :-(

Sasha, for this patch, I would suggest it may as well go directly through the
Hyper-V tree because
1. It's really small and it's a pure Hyper-V change.
2. This is for a new functionality and it can not break any existing code.
3. I'm pretty sure it can not cause any merge conflict or build failure.

It's still wonderful to get an Ack or some comment from the input driver
maintainer(s), so maybe let's wait more time (e.g. a week?) and then I
suggust we proceed.

Thanks,
-- Dexuan
