Move wiimote communication into the kernel.

What exactly does "wiimote communication" cover? Is it wminput you want to move into the kernel? I'm not thinking it's lswm or wmgui :) -- and a userspace library is a useful thing to have---and necessary if you want to talk to whatever's inside the kernel.

Also, that'll make things harder to port; is that on the radar at all for cwiid parts? I think it should be; libcwiid is a good library :)

What's the benefit of moving things into the kernel? Do they really belong there?

The idea is that most devices (non-Bluetooth) are controlled by kernel drivers, and userland interfaces with them by accessing a /dev file. Last time I really looked at this, the infrastructure didn't exist for bluetooth devices in the Linux kernel.

I don't know that I really have interest in doing this anymore - performance doesn't seem to be an issue, you can generate whatever UI events you need from userland, and as you said, it keeps things more portable. I'm still open to anybody interested in working on it, so we'll leave it open for now.
