It's possible for a driver to bind itself to multiple GUIDs, and I guess 
it's /potentially/ possible for a machine to have multiple event GUIDs. 
I'm not sure whether those should be created as separate input devices, 
or whether it would make sense for a driver to bind them into a single 
input driver. If the latter, wmi probably ought to be the parent?
