InputAttributes largely decide which configuration values get merged from
the xorg.conf.d snippets. While they are available in the config backend,
they are not available for any other callers of NewInputDeviceRequest().
Drivers implementing driver-side hotplugging do not have access to these
attributes and cannot have xorg.conf.d snippets specific to dependent
devices. For example, the following case cannot work right now:
Section "InputClass"
MatchProduct "Wacom"
Option "PressCurve" "0 0 100 100"
...
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
MatchProduct "Wacom"
MatchProduct "eraser"
Option "PressCurve" "10 10 50 50"
...
EndSection
The second section is not triggered, as the wacom driver cannot supply the
InputAttributes to NewInputDeviceRequest().
Add the attributes to the IDevRec and merge them into the InputInfoRec to
make them accessible in the driver. This changes the ABI for input drivers.
