Well, it means you do double-compilation, which sucks.  With
NewInputDeviceRequest and DeleteInputDeviceRequest being no-ops, there's
zero net effect: the config framework does nothing on its own, just
hints the DDX towards what it may want to do.  So I don't think there
really needs to be any change at all.
