This structure is stored in shared memory that's shared between the browser
which does the hardware polling, and the various consumers of the gamepad
state (renderers and NaCl plugins). The performance characteristics are that
we want low latency (so would like to avoid explicit communication via IPC
between producer and consumer) and relatively large data size.

Writer and reader operate on the same buffer assuming contention is low, and
contention is detected by using the associated SeqLock.
