This function returns the information whether the used platform relies
on USB HID for interactive scenarios by default as is the case for most
ARM platforms. In contrast, for x86 the USB driver can be omitted because
we can use the PS/2 driver (that is readily available in repos/os/).
The init component used to create the CPU/RAM/PD/ROM sessions (the child
environment) for its children by issuing session requests to its parent,
which is typically core. This policy was hard-wired. This patch enables
the routing of the environment sessions of the children of init
according to the configured routing policy.
Because there is no hard-wired policy regarding the environment sessions
anymore, routes to respective services must be explicitly declared in
the init configuration. For this reason, the patch adjusts several run
scripts in this respect.
This patch removes the outdated '<if-args>' special handling of session
labels. The '<if-args>' feature will eventually be removed completely

This patch unconditionally applies the labeling of sessions and thereby
removes the most common use case of 'Child_policy::filter_session_args'.
Furthermore, the patch removes an ambiguity of the session labels of
sessions created by the parent of behalf of its child, e.g., the PD
session created as part of 'Child' now has the label "<child-name>"
whereas an unlabeled PD-session request originating from the child
has the label "<child-name> -> ". This way, the routing-policy of
'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' can differentiate both cases.
As a consequence, the stricter labeling must now be considered wherever
a precise label was specified as a key for a session route or a server-
side policy selection. The simplest way to adapt those cases is to use a
'label_prefix' instead of the 'label' attribute. Alternatively, the
'label' attribute may used by appending " -> " (note the whitespace).

Drivers like SD-Card, platform, AHCI, and framebuffer are specified as Exynos5
compliant. But they are at least not compliant with Odroid-XU although this is
Exynos5. Thus, prevent tests that rely on such drivers when building for
hw_odoid_xu. Furthermore, make previous Arndale regulator/consts.h,
uart_defs.h, and some Board_base enums available to all Exynos5 builds to
enable at least building the drivers.
Fixes#1419
This patch introduces a mandatory layer attribute to domains. The layer
ordering is superimposed on the stacking order of the views. The
top-most layer can be assigned to a pointer-managing client. An example
for such a pointer is located at os/src/app/pointer. It replaces the
formerly built-in nitpicker mouse cursor.
The new layering mechanism replaces the former "stay-top" session
argument. So the Nitpicker::Connection no longer takes the stay-top flag
as the first argument.
This patch introduces the notion of a "domain" to the nitpicker
configuration concept. Session policies always refer to a domain where
multiple session policies can refer to the same domain. Thereby a domain
provides a way to express the grouping of sessions. This is useful for
applications that open multiple nitpicker sessions (such as Qt5 apps that
use one nitpicker session per window, menu, etc.). We want to assign all
those sessions to a single domain.
The configuration looks as follows:
<config>
...
<domain name="default" color="#ffffff"/>
<policy label="" domain="default"/>
...
</config>
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
