Actually, regardless of whether we land Mir fixes for bug 1524145 and
bug 1522295, the Unity8 mouse speed is still going to be unusable.

Right now (Mir 0.17 installed on xenial) you're getting 1:1 device
kernel motion data. So Unity8 should be able to deal with that much
better than it is and not require such a huge effort to move the mouse
around.

So this is entirely a Unity8 bug.  Unity8 should ensure as a sane
default that it is moving the cursor by about 1px when the motion event
gives a dx==1. But right now it seems to be a long way from that. Other
Mir shells don't have a problem.

Bug description:
  Running unity8 as a session on the desktop.

  The mouse is so "slow" (i.e a movement in reality moves it very few
  pixels on screen) that i can't really use it since i need to lift it
  and restart the movement a few times if i want to go to the other side
  of the screen.
