Please add suport for creating /dev/input/uinput. Support for this
device is in the uinput kernel modul.

I need this device for the mouseemu package (ITP: #293240). I've
attached a patch for MAKEDEV. This patch adds a new target uinput. I'm
not sure if this deserves an own target, but I could not find one which
it fits completely.

Please feel free to downgrade if you think this is only whishlist.

Thanks Gaudenz
