Yes. I've had to make use of them recently for a USB mouse after upgrading
from X.org 6.8.2 to 7.0 - 6.8.2 was patched to allow options "Dev Phys" and
"Dev Name" (using the corresponding ioctls), but that got dropped.

IR input's fine, though, since I patched LIRC locally to allow it to use the
ioctls - which I prefer for this :-)
