I agree. In fact, what I think we should do is implement the HID
ioctls in ntdll, and perhaps even hid.dll on top of that. Then all
the input-related stuff would just make HID ioctl calls to ntdll.

But even if we don’t wind up doing that, I definitely think that
having a common library handling input devices is a good idea.
