If we are shooting at 2.6.15 I would just go with original 2-class
solution (input and input_dev) with doing symlinks in form of
/sys/class/input/mouseX/device -> /sys/class/input_dev/inputX

Correct me if I am wrong but this is least invasive and (at least for
older hotplug installations) all that is needed to make it work is a
symlink from input.agent to input_dev.agent.
