Not very, not core X at least.  ChangePointerControl allows defining a
threshold above which pointer motion is accelerated by a specified
rational fraction (or decelerated, I suppose, if a server feels like
implementing fractions <1).

However, that's not much use here, and applies to only the core pointer
anyway.  The input extension may be more elaborate, but I really know
just about nothing about it - even the relatively anciet server I use
offers extensions I've been unable to find documentation on.  (Indeed,
of the 16 extensions offered, I've found useful documentation on two.)

So yes, I think this would be appropriate for the kernel driver.

Probably by blindly assuming it's running on Linux x86. :-þ
