if you look at the source for e.g. XTestFakeDeviceButtonEvent, you'll see that all the XDevice* is used for is request->deviceid = dev->device_id. The protocol only cares about the device id, so to make XTest XI2 aware, all that's needed is some libXtst functions that take an id directly instead of the XDevice*. So it's a pure client-side change in the library, feel free to send me the patch :) There's more limitations once you hit more than 127 devices, but let's not worry about that for now.
