conversion_proc in xserver

Hi,
When Xorg moved to the new input API (commit
60ea7b51fe2b8a19a08b63db48504971a7a50ee6), xf86PostMotionEvent() no
longer calls the input device's conversion_proc. Are the input devices
expected to do the conversion and send in screen coordinates for the
events? If so, shouldn't _LocalDeviceRec in
xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Xinput.h be modified to remove
conversion_proc? This way, input drivers using conversion_proc will
fail to build and the maintainers will know what to fix, rather than
some random error (in case of vmmouse, the mouse is just stuck at the
bottom right corner).

Thanks,
Vinay
