#define HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV                        0x00000010
#define HID_QUIRK_SONY_PS3_CONTROLLER           0x00040000
#define USB_VENDOR_ID_SONY                      0x054c
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_SONY_PS3_CONTROLLER       0x0268

So, that would mean:
usbhid.quirks=0x054c:0x0268:0x00040010

I've attached a simple patch to make it create the hiddev for the
sixaxis.

Cheers
