Now I revert patch, results:

booting w/o hw.psm.synaptics_support=1
* vscroll doesn't work
* buttons works fine
* mouse cursor moved slow (~ like without synaptics_support + your patch)

booting with synaptics_support enabled:
* vscroll works fine
* buttons doesn't work
* mouse cursor moved ok (fast)
* synclient works fine two figers too, after `synclient
  VertTwoFingerScroll=1` 

So, it general, there is no large regression if I can adjust the speed in xorg
(now?). Just in case, I have following on xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Mouse0"
        Driver  "synaptics"
        Option  "Protocol"              "psm"
        Option  "Device"                "/dev/psm0"
#       Option  "SHMConfig"             "on"
        Option  "LBCornerButton"        "1"
        Option  "RBCornerButton"        "2"
        Option  "MinSpeed"              "7"
        Option  "MaxSpeed"              "9"
        Option  "AccelFactor"           "0.0015"
        Option  "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

 I would be grateful if you (or somebody else) told me how I can fix vscroll
with your patch
Thanks!
