Well, on FreeBSD, I can configure usbd to create a symlink from the device to a well-known location with a < 30 second edit of /etc/usbd.conf. It will do this when you plug it in at runtime, or at boot time (when usbd is started). If Linux comes with something like usbd, that's what I'd use as a quick hack. Alternatively if there is a utility to scan /dev/input devices, I'd add an rc script to do that and create the symlink at boot time. For a quick hack I'd only go modifiying the device opening code in the drivers if there wasn't already some utility I could leverage in a few minutes to do what I need. But like I said, I'm not as familiar (yet) with the USB/input support in recent Linux kernels, so maybe that is your quickest option :-).
