At least with MPX you can set a device to 'floating', meaning to detach
it from any master device, so it won't generate core events anymore. The
xinput utility will let you do that easily, but you need stuff from git
master.

Using input properties with xorg-server-1.5 will let you disable devices
using xinput. But I think in disabled state, the device won't generate
any events anymore.
