Well, you could put these two lines in /etc/rc.local:

modprobe -r psmouse || true
insmod /path/to/hacked/psmouse.ko || echo 'Failed to load hacked psmouse.ko, probably needs recompiling.'

Haven't tested it, though. I'll rather wait till the fixes are
incorporated into the default kernel. You'll need to be aware when
kernel [ABI] upgrades happen. This approach will fail in that scenario
(if new kernel version requires module recompile).
