Hmm, I guess we'll never see 2 such devices in one box, but still
moving it to psmouse->private woudl be a good practice.

Can you please clarify this comment?
If you ever have 2 such devices in the same box use of static variables
will cause the code to not work properly because they will be shared
between the devices. Proper way is to move them into per-device
structure.
