Well, I initially thought about naming it like the native XInput driver, 
xusb22.sys or something like that, but then I saw there are several of 
them, and some even named xinput.sys (I think).

Sure it's kind of Wine-specific, although a similar native driver 
exists, and naming it winexinput would make it live among the growing 
list of wine-something DLLs, which is imho starting to be painful to 
distinguish.

It seemed clearer to name it xinput.sys, so it would be listed right 
alongside its user-space xinput1_* counterparts, which felt convenient 
when looking at the code. The driver is only meant for these DLLs, and 
some of the code will even be very similar.
