Here she be.

This is a bit more comprehensive than what I had planned -- the
original patch I'd just done off the top of my head, and when I tested
it pre-submission, I found a number of preexisting issues. It's since
become more of a general bugfix-and-enhancement of the tsdev driver,
which also happens to stop it from oopsing when no scaling data is
available.

I've modified (and tested) it to work well in converting
mouse-generated data for touchpad use. As my test host doesn't have
any touchpanels on the moment and I don't (yet!) have a test program
to generate absolute and pressure events, I haven't tested them. The
code is simple enough, however, that it should Just Work. (*)

tsdev really, really needs to be assigned a minor range that doesn't
conflict with anything else. I left it starting at 32 in this patch,
to let the assignment be done by one of 'yall maintainer-folk (during
testing, I moved it over to overlap with the jsdev range, but that
doesn't work well either).

Enjoy!
