Last time I asked Vojtech wasn't very pleased of that idea, eg. it doesn't 
make  much sense to mix in EV_ABS devices.

Maybe it should be a separate module providing a whole class of event mix 
devices, with all EV_KEY and EV_REL mixed on /dev/eventmix0 by default. Then 
there could be ioctl's to attach and detach single event devices onto the 
mixer devices.
