/*
 * The input manager is the core of the system event processing.
 *
 * The input manager uses two threads.
 *
 * 1. The InputReaderThread (called "InputReader") reads and preprocesses raw input events,
 *    applies policy, and posts messages to a queue managed by the DispatcherThread.
 * 2. The InputDispatcherThread (called "InputDispatcher") thread waits for new events on the
 *    queue and asynchronously dispatches them to applications.
 *
 * By design, the InputReaderThread class and InputDispatcherThread class do not share any
 * internal state.  Moreover, all communication is done one way from the InputReaderThread
 * into the InputDispatcherThread and never the reverse.  Both classes may interact with the
 * InputDispatchPolicy, however.
 *
 * The InputManager class never makes any calls into Java itself.  Instead, the
 * InputDispatchPolicy is responsible for performing all external interactions with the
 * system, including calling DVM services.
