I think this bug has now been fixed upstream:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=a2418fc4a13b5da8d007a038c0a6a50a54edfabd

Could somebody please backport that patch to the Ubuntu 14.04 kernel?
It's really annoying to re-compile my own mouse kernel module each time
I've got to update my kernel package...
