This might be an overly naive approach (or call it thinking loudly)... 
It would probably break a lot of stuff when the JOYSTICK/TRIGGER block 
moved to the 0x210 region, but would it be a solution to have a block 
of additional joystick buttons there and check on assigning buttons to 
a joystick, whether it traverses over to GAMEPAD and in that case skip 
to the additional block?

That's what we have to do I guess... I wonder how many keycodes will we
need so we won't have to split the region again? Will they come up with
70 buttons next time?

Yup, I am not able to come up with anything more clever either.

I can do that easily ... any suggestions for button names? :)
