To complement this, I have the following patch queued in my tree (already 
in -mm for some time), which moves all hid-related USB code from 
drivers/usb/input to drivers/hid/usbhid, as discussed before. Does the 
some thing apply please?

The only clash we have here is the usbkbd.c and usbmouse.c - my patches 
move them into hid-specific directory, as they implement the 'boot' 
version of the HID standard. What do you think?

Thanks.
