I've yet another suggestion:

unity8 provides a D-Bus API for autopilot to ask "hey, what's the 
position/transformation of surface X?". Then AP would apply that 
transformation to a surface local coordinate and send the resulting 
global coordinate through evdev.

advantages:
  - we don't hassle mir
  - AP still send its input events through evdev, which exercises the 
whole input stack

disadvantages:
  - more work to autopilot and unity8
