I wasn't sure about this patch either. But, after waiting a while and
not coming with with anything better I figured I would post it to at
least get some feedback.

Are you suggesting that we have hid-rmi bind to all of the hid devices
on this USB device and then have hid-rmi decide what reports it should
process and let the remaining events continue to hid-input? I guess once
hid-rmi loads it could look at the hid report ids and determine if it is
one of our devices and if it should put the device into rmi mode. If not
simply act as a pass through.

I did just look at the reports and see where X and Y where reported.
Since mouse mode is really only there for compatibility when no custom
driver is present I think it is unlikely that it will change in the
future. However, there is no guarantee that it won't change. I will see
if I can come up with is less of a hack. Maybe, I can use the event
callback instead of raw_event.
