This reverts commit 022eb347ff3a48281e7e69c3addcb11bf24afa53.

Introducing Bolt as a DJ receiver created a lot of troubles for users
with their scroll wheel going crazy.

This is because we have 2 issues:
- Bolt doesn't say which device sends which event, so having 2 mice
  connected on the same receiver means one will be normal and the other
  deadly slow or deadly fast
- userspace also tinker with those settings, meaning that users are not
  happy with the new default settings.

The end result is that the feature is not ready for a final kernel, and
the sensible thing to do is to revert the patch and revisit it in a
later kernel if we can work around the 2 issues I've mentioned above.
