That probably doesn't mean anything.  The firmware can choose to handle
the mouse in any way it wants, but the interface actually provided to
the boot loader through EFI is more limited.

The UEFI spec mentions x, y and z axis for a pointing device and
recommends using z-axis for scrolling, but I don't know if the mouse wheel
would be used as a z-axis, or just button 4 and 5 (which uefi doesn't do,
only left and right).
