2.6.27.59-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Jiri Kosina <[email protected]> commit f8313ef1f448006207f12c107123522c8bc00f15 upstream. 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.
