For external tablets like the Intuos series we now expose the area
rectangle configuration and the (minimum) implementation required to
make this work.
Because an area configuration may apply late and tablet events usually
get scaled by the compositor we need to store the current axis extents
in each event. This is to behave correctly in this events sequence:
1. tool proximity in
2. caller changes config, config is pending
3. tool moves, generates events
4. tool goes out of prox, new config applies
5. caller processes motion events from step 3
If the caller in step five uses any of the get_x_transformed calls these
need to be scaled relative to the original area, not the one set in
step 2.
The current implementation merely clips into the area so moving a stylus
outside the area will be equivalent to moving it along the respective
edge of the area. It's not a true dead zone yet.

This device looks similar to a MT device on the kernel side, but it's not a
MT device and it's not quite a tablet either. It uses slots to track up to 4
totems off the same device and the only hint that it's not a MT device is that
it sends ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE / MT_TOOL_DIAL.
udev thinks it's a touchscreen and a tablet but we currently init those
devices as touchscreen (because all wacom tablet touch devices are udev
tablets+tochscreens). So we need a quirk to hook onto this device.
And we use a completely separate dispatch implementation, because adding the
behavior to the tablet interface requires so many exceptions that it's easier
to just add a separate dispatch interface.
