 Sure, but one question about the patch: is it necessary to add the
 new field to the mousestatus structure, i.e. is there any userland
 code that needs the new `dt' field from the MOUSE_GETSTATUS ioctl?
 If not, it would be better to avoid having to recompile any existing
 applications that may use the MOUSE_GETSTATUS ioctl. Adding the new
 field would also require modifying all the other mouse drivers
 (sysmouse, mse, psm, pc98/mse) to initialise `dt'.
