I think number 1 is probably best, IMHO it should go into moused, but
given the way the moused code is written that is pretty tough :(

Also if you follow step 1 you will have to provide some way of telling
the psm device not to validate the input stream, because otherwise it
will barf on the absolute packets.
(I have done a little tinkering, but the moused/psm code makes my head
explode)
