The /proc/bus/input/devices has an extensible structure. You can just
add an "A:" line (for Activity) instead of adding a new proc file.
Anyway, I believe this should be also available through sysfs, if not
only there.

Also, the activity counters should IMO coincide with the event times
passed through /dev/input/event, and should not be jiffies based.
Ideally, both should be based on clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC).
