I thought it was described in the commit message: different devices can
generate the same events, but commands (such as pixel-scroll-precision)
might want to act differently depending on the device that generated it.
(I'm still getting the device detection right, though it already works
for most hardware: on X, the only way to find out the "device class" of
a device is to look at its name.)
There are use cases other than precision pixel scrolling as well. For
example, different keyboards could be configured to behave differently,
which is useful for people who have multiple keyboards lying around.
Tetris might also want to treat mouse movement from a joystick
differently from that of an ordinary pointing device.
