Recently I had the joy of using the driver of https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/. I found their deployment scripts a charm to work with. Not only were they quite robust, they also cover a usecase that is missing from deploy.sh: uninstallation.

Unfortunately, using these scripts would mean to move most of the repository in subfolder. Also the scripts itself might cause objections. Therefore I suggest them as a PR so we can discuss this change.

NOTE: The PR is not yet complete and should not be merged.

  • Some cleanups would be necessary.
  • Probably the README.md needs to be adapted.
  • We would have to discuss whether we keep the update script, but then start to use some form of versioning, or whether we dismiss it.
  • The authors of xpadneo should be invited to participate here, if we would decide to go forward.

The project xpadneo (https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo) has some
great DKMS helper scripts. It seems as if these are a better replacement
for our `deploy.sk` script.

This commit only adds the scripts almost unaltered. The only changes are
to adapt the import directory and to add a license header.
This is required in order to make the new installation scripts work out.
I am not sure whether that makes sense at all or whether one could use
"88x2bu" throughout. I stick with the status quo for the moment.
The former works. The latter fails to unload the driver module.

What is your opinion about this PR? Its a huge restructuring, but I really like how things are working with xpad-neo.
