This patch breaks the X server (stock FC5 install) with CONFIG_USER_NS=n.
Neither the USB mouse nor the trackpad work. They work OK under GPM.
Setting CONFIG_USER_NS=y "fixes" this. This bug was not observed in
2.6.20-rc3-mm1 because that kernel had user-ns-always-on.patch for other
reasons. (I'll restore that patch).
There's nothing very interesting here:
