Joydev is currently thinking some absolute mice are joystick, and that messes up games in VMware guests, as the cursor typically gets stuck in the top left corner. Try to detect the event signature of a VMmouse input device and back off for such devices. We're still incorrectly detecting, for example, the VMware absolute USB mouse as a joystick, but adding an event signature matching also that device would be considerably more risky, so defer that to a later merge window.
