Ok, the issue is the kernel assumes ABS_MAX to be a power-of-2 minus 1
(used as mask). That wasn't really obvious to me. Attached is a patch
which should fix that. Could you apply it on top of linus/master and
give it a try?

@Dmitry: The IOC_NR part of the definition of EVIOCSABS() is now
bigger than 1-byte. I need to check how that affects the 'E' part. Any
idea what to do here?

Thanks
David

Patch is also attached as I doubt that inlining it works in that
