A modest proposal...

Howdy.

I notice that, at present, several of the handlers (such as evdev)
assign device numbers independantly. Hence, /dev/input/event2 and
/dev/input/mouse2 may not refer to the same device, and (similarly)
may not refer to the device dubbed input2 on initialization.

Might it not make for a somewhat more user-friendly world to have
handlers use dev->number for determining the minor number for each
connected device?

This would also make a table of connected input devices somewhat more
useful.
