There's the tablet line discipline driver in sys/kern/tty_tb.c.

I think "WSMOUSE_TYPE_TABLET" would be more ``traditional''.

I think a more action specific name might be appropriate here.  Maybe
something like WSMOUSEIO_{S,G}COORD.  It's possible that other parameter
might exist on future devices.

Note that I've not played with wscons much at all, so feel free to
ignore what I've said :-)
