Obviously we can't help with physically broken ones but I don't believe it is kernel's task to deal with physically broken hardware. The ones that are not physically broken - PS/2 should have fairly decent hardware emulation mode (at least all I tried supported tap and trag while working as regular PS/2 mouse) - so that can be used while we figuring out native protocol.
