Yes. I quickly looked at filter drivers but didn't find anything 
explicit and it looked like we don't have the necessary bricks to make 
it work. And I really don't think it's worth the trouble for something 
as simple as this driver.

Well I don't know how to tell hidclass.sys not register the device on 
the HID GUID, and register it instead on another GUID without changing 
hidclass.sys.

And yes, opening any HID device goes through hidclass.sys and we really 
want it to be on top and handle all the ugly HID details (and it also 
guarantees that we will only ever have a single read request at a time, 
which will be handy).
