OK, here's an attempt.  Once you figure out how the callbacks work, HAL 
is actually pretty easy to work with.  For now I only accept the event%d 
devices when there is no sysfs device, since I couldn't figure out how 
to use ioctl()'s to correlate e.g. mouse5 with event7.  Maybe it's 
necessary to parse /proc anyway :-(.  Or maybe just add the kernel 
support so HAL can merge them.

This is what lshal reports:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/input_13_64'
   info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/input_13_64'  (string)
   info.product = 'PS/2 Generic Mouse'  (string)
   input.minor = 64  (0x40)  (int)
   input.major = 13  (0xd)  (int)
   info.capabilities = 'input'  (string)
   info.category = 'input'  (string)
   info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/fakeroot'  (string)
   input.device = '/dev/input/event0'  (string)
   linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/input/event0'  (string)
   info.bus = 'unknown'  (string)

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/input_13_65'
   info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/input_13_65'  (string)
   info.product = 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard'  (string)
   input.minor = 65  (0x41)  (int)
   input.major = 13  (0xd)  (int)
   info.capabilities = 'input'  (string)
   info.category = 'input'  (string)
   info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/fakeroot'  (string)
   input.device = '/dev/input/event1'  (string)
   linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/input/event1'  (string)
   info.bus = 'unknown'  (string)


Oh, and the problem I had with missing input.* properties was because 
udev didn't call hal.dev.  It works now.  Could HAL use the udev helper 
instead?
