Again, the kernel will try to do the right thing and produce the correct
events for new input devices, but we are not going to introduce a copy
of evdev protocol that limits the events to "standard gamepad" ones.

    Ok.  I can see there's no point arguing this.  What can I do to at
least make sure future devices behave?  Is there anything that can be
done about current devices other than translate in userspace?

Please post the patches for discussion and keep en eye on changes going
into drivers/input/joystick and drivers/hid as you have a vested
interest of everyone getting it right.

I am not sure about status of PS3 controller, I think Bastien was
working on supporting it from userspace?
