If this was done people who run GENERIC (or HWDIRECT) Kernels with Apple 
mice wouldn't be able to do X without a custom Kernel.  Many of these 
people don't have the disk space to do a custom Kernel build, so I don't 
think this is a good idea.  (Unless someone like Steve decides to put 
together 1-button mice kernels along with GENERIC, HWDIRECT, UVM, etc.)

The i386 port does something like this for the Bus Mouse protocol.  It's 
a real pain to have to do a custom kernel build for my laptop just to get 
the pointing device and external mouse working.  At least they disabled 
the APM code in the GENERIC kernel so it's at least possible to run a 
GENERIC long enough to compile a custom Kernel.
