There should be a 1-1 correspondence between event nodes and the input device
number, assuming that event support is enabled in the kernel.
I'm not sure that parsing dmesg logs is portable or stable, so you may have to
test it across each kernel you want to use.
I still recommend using a helper application (or doing it all in C).
