Regardless of where the code goes, I suggest we enable tracking by default for
MT devices and perhaps have a quirt MT_NOTRACK to opt out.

If tracking is the common case and expected down stream, it would be nice to let
HID compliant devices work without needing to explicitly identify them in code.
