Yeah, that's a legacy restriction.

It doesn't anymore.  We replaced that with uevents.  Nowadays the right 
way to go is to use the sysfs_notify() API.

The patches for the input stuff are probably long gone (but you might 
find something in the BitKeeper repository).  I won't object to someone 
re-adding the input layer functionality again, though.
