  get rid of input BIT* duplicate defines

  use newly global defined macros for input layer. Also remove includes of
  input.h from non-input sources only for BIT macro definiton. Define the
  macro temporarily in local manner, all those local definitons will be
  removed further in this patchset (to not break bisecting).

• 7b595756e   sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner ... Browse Code »

  sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
  deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
  so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
  often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
  accessing removed modules.

  This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
  this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
  backing module from being unloaded.

  For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
  following message.

  (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to
  merge things properly.)
