Description Giovanni Campagna 2013-07-15 16:28:26 UTC 
In some cases, applications (or actually, wayland compositors)
don't have the required permissions to access evdev directly, but
can do so with an external helper like weston-launch.

Allow them to do so with a custom callback that replaces the regular
open() path.

Now with more callback data!
