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?
