Actually, this is really the normal path. The not normal path is the
one for calibrator. You see the non-normal path added in "input:
introduce touch event mode for calibrator".

I didn't want to call it process_touch() originally, because it doesn't
process all touches, just the usual case. I even call it
WESTON_TOUCH_MODE_NORMAL.

Would you have other suggestions?
