Subject: [PATCH v2 2.6.38] Mode button quirk for Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 7

Mode button quirk for Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 7

This patch implements a quirk for the Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 7 mouse. It has a
"mode" button, to the left of button 1, which behaves strangely: it cycles
through three logical button numbers (8, 9 and 10 as seen by the kernel and
13, 14 and 15, as seen by X), and defers sending the release event until the
next time this button is pressed. This, I've noticed, confuses X into
thinking that a drag operation is in progress when this button is clicked.

The only sensible workaround is, I think, to have these logical buttons
treated as instant-release. This implementation does this, but also causes
extra release events to be reported to userspace; X copes fine, and I don't
expect that anything won't.

(Other R.A.T. mice are almost certainly affected.)
