The expectation that there will be a single platform specific driver living in drivers/platform/x86/... that will install platform specific filter and will do all necessary processing. So far there was no need for more than one filter.

Is it ok that in /drivers/input/serio/i8042.c it's allowed to install only one i8042_filter? Theoretically, there may be several different devices that need their drivers to install i8042_filter, to eat out some device-specific subset of scancodes.
