[PATCH] Fix compilation problem with 2.6.0-test2 on PPC

Hi,

There is a compilation issue in driver/input/evdev.c
due to the fact a "complex" expression is used as an argument
for an inline assembly construction (get_user)
The fix I done is to use a temporary variable to get the argument
and then use this variable for get_user.
