Comment:
Andres,
Apparently the timer is not only used to simulate hotplug, but:
{{{
/*
* Restart timer (for polling "stuck" data)
*/
mod_timer(&i8042_timer, jiffies + I8042_POLL_PERIOD);
}}}
So increasing (or disabling) would involve further understanding
of the timer's purpose and testing on actual OLPC hardware (to
check whether stuck data is an issue in this case).
