This includes handling effect type validations, locking, etc. The effects are now file descriptor specific instead of the previous strange half-process half-fd specific behaviour. The effect memory of devices is not emptied if the root user opens and closes the device while another user is using effects. This is a minor change and most likely no force feedback aware programs are affected by this negatively. Otherwise the userspace interface is left unaltered.
