I am not sure what would be the benefit of adding those new tools, if
the input_mt code discards them. Do you want to forward them to the
userspace with the release?
This reminds me the discussion we had recently with the touchscreens
releasing the slots with a MT_TOOL_PALM.

Anyway, better include Peter as he will be using this new MT_TOOL.
