The PS/2 mouse won't give you that info. Its also very slow to talk to
(milliseconds a message). With a USB mouse you can probably safely assume
that the mouse->kernel path is <= 100uS.

This btw illustrates why without figures the data is useless - I can do
context switches faster than an ISA I/O cycle. I like your synthetic
click suggestion.
