2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ i8042 controller present in Dell Vostro V13 errorneously signals spurious timeouts. Introduce i8042.notimeout parameter for ignoring i8042-signalled timeouts and apply this quirk automatically for Dell Vostro V13, based on DMI match. In addition to that, this machine also needs to be added to nomux blacklist.
