That's certainly possible too. See patch below. Note though that this
patch has the disadvantage mentioned by Dmitry:

We also can't just emulate relative events as everything is
multiplexed into /dev/input/mice and I can see many people
using Synaptics via /dev/input/eventX and everything else via
/dev/input/mice as it nicely handles hot plugging (at least I
use it this way).
