Could you explain why the renderer is calling these? What if a renderer crashes
and the Pause/Resumes become unbalanced?

[SaurabhK, 2014/01/15 16:57:08]

According to my observation polling thread which gets started in the constructor
of GamepadSharedMemoryReader never stops (even if i switch/close the tab that
accesses gamepad data or minimize the browser application).
In my implementation I want to resume and pause polling thread whenever gamepad
data is accessed and released. And I make sure the state of polling thread in
NavigatorGamepad's constructor and destructor. Hence these calls are from
NavigatorGamepad.
Also i am keeping a timeout in GamepadProvider which will put polling thread to
pause state whenever gamepad access stops.

SO coming back to the question of renderer crash, there can be two states
(resume/pause) of renderer at time of crash.
1. Paused
In this case whenever new webpage is loaded that accesses gamepad data,
NavigatorGamepad will make sure that the thread has resumed.

2. Resumed
In this case the timeout in GamepadProvider will put the polling thread to pause
as the gamepad access has been stopped.
