[Xcb] xinput: make ListInputDevices work, sumof with nested expr, ...

[Ran Benita]

Hi Chris,

The entire series looks good to me (the libxcb patches and the proto
ones which I had reviewed earlier), with just some minor comments.

Can you post the revised patches in a new thread? This one is a bit
messy.. Feel free to add my R-b. You can also reorder/squash the patches
if you want.
