I've yet another suggestion:

unity8 provides a D-Bus API for autopilot to ask "hey, what's the
position/transformation of surface X?". Then AP would apply that
transformation to a surface local coordinate and send the resulting
global coordinate through evdev.

advantages:
  - we don't hassle mir
  - AP still send its input events through evdev, which exercises the
whole input stack

disadvantages:
  - more work to autopilot and unity8

This was option 1 in the original email, and disliked greatly by Thomi.
It requires AP punching open appArmor rules between clients & unity8
when running tests. DBus has much greater latency. Also would require
notion of surface ID, which Mir folks also dislike.

I left it out of further discussion as a result.

Ah, right. :)
