It's already in the input.h that comes with the latest LinuxDC/SH sources - 
so the answer is - yes, treat it as an input device - and then I can 
implement a very much paired down version of the API (as it does far more 
than seems to be supported by the iForce devices which this is modelled on).

I hadn't thought to look directly in the existing 2.4 sources, but its 
there....
