Hi Scott,
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Your patch will break previous kernels, which have a smaller structure. I've had the discussion years ago with the input people on using module aliases, and it's not entirely trivial. I will prepare another patch, however.
Meanwhile, as noone seems to use swbit in struct input_device_id, perhaps we can remove it for 2.6.15?

Hmm, well, the answer to that is the same as above. ccw should have support now, so it's just input we're missing I think.
