Subject: Fix sudden warps in mousedev
Here's another one of those soon-to-be-obsoleted patches to mousedev.
But if it lives just in 2.6.21, it's good, right? It's a pure bugfix.
On my laptop with Synaptics, if I lift the finger and place it elsewhere,
the pointer sometimes warps dramatically. Here's the evtest trace
which illustrates what happens:
