EVIOC mechanism for MT slots

We've come across a little problem with filtered MT events.  It seems there
isn't a mechanism to request the full state.  If a program opens a device
there's no way it can see static objects.

Consider for example a board game.  If the user puts the pieces on a MT surface
before starting the application, those pieces will not register and the state of
the game will be incorrect.

If there's opposition to this request, I suggest settling the dispute with a
game of MT battleship :-)
