AFAIK currently testbots are only being used to test that "conformance tests"
affected by patch pass without FAILs under native OS-es.

That's exactly the case here. Low level input APIs differ significantly
between various OS for obvious reasons. If it would be decided to head on and
write separate driver for XInput instead of re-using already implemented (and
working reasonably well) DI8 infrastructure, then such driver would surely be
OS dependent and only enabled for compilation in case configure script would
determine that the target OS supports required low level API.

P.S. Resending this message to wine-devel list, forgot to CC.
