The definition of absolute/relative in X is a mess. Synaptics, in the
default use, still technically uses relative axis since all we do, most of
the time, is send relative events to the server.

Yes, the underlying axis itself is absolute, but we calculate the delta
depending on the device mode. What benefit does this change give us?
