Why would you lose information? You just call the old function first, it fills
the old fields, then you add the new information.

Also XInputGetStateEx() seems to be undocumented function and it seems to take
pointer to a structure that is containing additional DWORD.
That's why you need a new function, to use bigger structure than the old one.

Anyway, moving the code to internal function is fine solution that would work
in all cases.

Your patch does not add HOTPATCH to all the functions. That should be done too.
