Which in the end turns out to be much nicer too, since it gets rid of needing

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.

IMO we don't need to worry about that. this is needed for a set of devices that need a kernel patch, several synaptics patches and a server patch to work properly anyway, so changes are already required. Approach looks good, ACK from me.

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.
