evdev: export event device properties through sysctl interface A big security advantage of Wayland is not allowing applications to read input devices all the time. Having /dev/input/* accessible to the user account subverts this advantage. libudev-devd was opening the evdev devices to detect their types (mouse, keyboard, touchpad, etc). This don't work if /dev/input/* is inaccessible. With the kernel exposing this information as sysctls (kern.evdev.input.*), we can work w/o /dev/input/* access, preserving the Wayland security model.
