The APIs for checking whether keys are held down now also look
at virtual keys.
However it turns out there is less than a second between the time we
start the input thread and check for safe mode, so there is not enough
time to actually open all of the devices and get the data from them
about the finger being down to determine if a virtual key is down.
So now you can also hold DPAD center, trackball center, or s to
enter safe mode. Also give some vibrator feedback.

This will be used to avoid unnecessarily listening to data from sensors
that function as event devices.

The kernel can now publish a property describing the layout of virtual
hardware buttons on the touchscreen. These outside of the display
area (outside of the absolute x and y controller range the driver
reports), and when the user presses on them a key event will be
generated rather than a touch event.
This also includes a number of tweaks to the absolute controller
processing to make things work better on the new screens. For
example, we now reject down events outside of the display area.
Still left to be done is the ability to cancel a key down event,
so the user can slide up from the virtual keys to the touch screen
without causing a virtual key to execute.
