An Arch Linux user once pointed out to me that Arch (at the time) probed for
analog joysticks using this udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM=="pnp", ENV{MODALIAS}!="?*", ATTRS{id}=="PNPb02f",
RUN+="/lib/udev/load-modules.sh analog"
(They have since dropped that rule in their trunk.) I don't know whether it
makes any sense though. I presume this is just testing for the presence of a
gameport without caring about what is connected, right?
