This device does not tolerate delayed opening and goes into a coma if
we try to that. Ubuntu even has a crutch for udev that opened the device
upon seeing it for the first time, but it did not work if we happened to
boot with the device attached, since by the time userspace got around
opening the device it was too late. Let's start the device immediately
to deal with this issue.

Applied, thanks guys.

Excellent, thanks! I'll remove the workaround from future versions of the
joystick package in Debian and Ubuntu.

Would it be possibke to submit this patch to stable too, so that it can make
it into distribution kernels sooner rather than later?
