It makes as much sense doing it in xpad as doing it from a random USB network driver. I mean the only reason we are doing it from xpad is because of name and the fat that it has usb_driver structure. Nobody stops you from creating a tiny USB stub driver in hid portion that would probe the "non-hid" device and switch it over to hid.
