This is for input events queued by the uinput driver for the virtual
input device.
This can be read through uinput_read() fops.
I don't think anybody is doing a read on uinput nodes, so another
option(Arnd and I considered this) could be not supporting reads on
these nodes at all.

This is not related to evdev events in the kernel.
Currently, this timestamp could be the same format as the evdev
timestamps or not.
