most of this is likely just adding a hwdb entry, there's some overlap between
the devices. Will we end up with several different accel methods? yes. tens of
them? hopefully not.

I have a x220 and a t440 here, Hans has a couple of other ones and we get
feedback from people with misc other devices. We can push tests into Fedora and
get feedback from there, but the situation is far from ideal.

by feel mostly. and the fact that this accel method was largely aimed at mice
and the number of 200dpi mice is so low we don't really need to care about
them. and of course the obvious reason: it was relatively easy to implement and
gave us some solution that was 80% of the way there, which is better than 0% :)</pre>
