Patches for device names

Before I get patching, I wanted to get a consensus about what the best
patches would be, since there's a few options:

 a) kernel names match LANANA, using ! instead of /

		ACTION=add
		DEVPATH=/class/input/mice
		SUBSYSTEM=input
		MAJOR=13
		MINOR=63

	Pro: simplest, ! -> / already supported by udev
	Con: looks strange in sysfs;
	     /class/input/mice becomes /class/input/input!mice;
	     backwards compatibility?
		- we can match NAME=="input/mice" for permissions,
		  this works for both!

 b) kernel names remain the same, include DEVNAME in environment

		ACTION=add
		DEVPATH=/class/input/mice
		DEVNAME=/dev/input/mice
		SUBSYSTEM=input
		MAJOR=13
		MINOR=63

	Pro: fixes sysfs and compatibility, attractive
	Con: udev needs patching, extra macro in kernel
