Title:
  Linux user input device ioctls missing wrappers

Status in Valgrind:
  Unknown
Status in “valgrind” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The user input device ioctls defined in linux/uinput.h need wrappers
  because they either don't provide a third argument or they provide an
  int value instead of a pointer to a memory location.

  This causes valgrind errors like:

  The default valgrind ioctl signatures do not match how the uinput
  ioctls work. These errors are false positives.
