In mousedev the BTN_LEFT and BTN_FORWARD were mapped to mouse button 0, causing
that the user space program cannot distinguish between them through /dev/input/mice.
The BTN_FORWARD is currently used in the synaptics.c, logips2pp.c and in alps.c. All
mice have BTN_LEFT, but not all have BTN_MIDDLE (e.g. Clevo D410J laptop). Mapping
BTN_FORWARD to mouse button 2 makes the BTN_FORWARD button useful on the mentioned
laptop.

I'd rather not touch mappings in legacy mousedev driver. I believe
both synaptics and evdev X drivers will correctly recognize
BTN_FORWARD, is there any reason you are not using them?
