 The patch has changes to at least two files that are in my opinion way
 too large to be properly examined except by the people who wrote the
 changes.  To my untrained eye at this point in time the USB mouse code
 for Net/OpenBSD versus Free/DragonFlyBSD has very little in common,
 let alone whatever Linux does, and needs a major refactoring if it is
 to be understandable for review by upstream.
 
 Nevertheless the code is all we've got for DragonFly and FreeBSD for
 USB mice.  I didn't just invent it from nowhere, it's the code
 DragonFly dports and FreeBSD ports already uses.  And I have tested it
 to confirm it allows functional desktop usage on DragonFly
 4.3-DEVELOPMENT and FreeBSD 10.1, something that was missing before.
