Which in the end turns out to be much nicer too, since it gets rid of needing
a udev-helper too. After this much too long introduction I'll let the patches
speak for themselves.

Yeah, I was coming to the conclusion that this was probably the best we 
could do. It's unfortunate that "id" is already in use - we'd be able to 
get away without any X server modifications otherwise.

Long term we probably still want to tie serio devices to the ACPI 
devices in case the vendor provides power management calls there, but we 
can leave that until there's an actual example.

I am still unsure if we shoudl be adding these new IDs to serio core...
Can't the X driver take a peek at ACPI devices on it's own?

Thanks.
