Gamepad support in WSL2 (/dev/jsx) #7747

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice to have gamepads exposed to Linux guests for the convince of running and testing cross platform programs that can make use of gamepads solely on Windows using WSLg. You can already attach USB gamepads to the WSL2 instance using usbipd-win, however the system dsitro does not have gamepad support enabled since this use-case was not considered.

Describe the solution you'd like
The system distro to have USB gamepad support enabled by default.

Describe alternatives you've considered
It is possible to modify the system distro kernel to enable USB gamepad support, however this is a rather large maintenance burden for such a dinky little feature since you have to continuously keep the custom kernel up to date.
