The motion sensors are now handled by FIQ when someone has the
/dev/input/event<n> node open.

I can see the event timestamps with hexdump /dev/input/event2 for
example but I can't see the X Y Z data due to needing an IOCTL, but I
have separately printk()'d the data from the motion sensor irq service
and it looked okay.

Maybe someone better placed to examine /dev/input/event<n> from usermode
in there (Mickey?) can check if the data is good using a current git
kernel off the "andy" branch.

Don't forget neod holds these guys open.  You can still see the count of
FIQ services by

$ cat /sys/devices/platform/spi_s3c24xx_gpio.1/spi0.1/fiq_count

and... it's definitely beer o'clock now :-)
