Right, that was Nicholas Hirsch's usbfs solution.  See his
Tracker:Patches post:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2878608&group_id=69596&atid=525126

As you can see Ping included it with linuxwacom-0.8.5-8 for kernels
2.6.24 and later.  But then upstream dropped usbfs and the Distros
followed shortly.  So nothing until Eduard Hasenleithner started
submitting to linux-input in about March 2011.  That became the
current sysfs solution.  He started on the xsetwacom implementation
which was picked up by Ping and then Jason.
