any feelings about this approach?
Still pondering...I applied the very first patch though...
Any news about this? I have no problem throwing away the whole patch set
and use a different approach, if there is any :)

And I need one, because I have a patch pending for a MIDI/Controller
device which is something like a drum computer control device, and this
one has more ABS information channels than currently supported by the
input stack.

OTOH, the current plan is to use *axis* information for the transport
to the user space, but in fact, their hardware representation is a
pressure-sesitive button. Same counts for potentiometers etc, which
aren't axis either. So maybe I should use some different layer for such
devices? MIDI legacy after all? I'm open to any suggestions :)

Thanks,
Daniel
