This is a very good solution. I like it.

I do not think we need to keep ABS_X and ABS_Y for pad. We've already
supported a tablet (Intuos pen small, a pen only tablet with buttons
reported on touch interface) that does not set ABS_X and ABS_Y for
pad.
Unless you plan to use other means to tell userland those events are
from PAD tool, ABS_MISC is necessary and is a reasonable way to group
PAD events. So, I do not think it is for backward compatibility. It is
there to stay. With that said, the whole patchset is
