Hmm, you could add hooks into input_ff_upload() and input_ff_erase()
and maybe in input_ff_events() to handle autocenter and gain cases...
And then say that device that does not have any effects uploaded to it

device supports force-feedback or not. I am CCing Anssi Hannula as he
recently overhauled entire FF support.
