Subject: [PATCH 1/2] input: mousedev: Distinguish a moving finger from a tapping
 finger

The tap functionality of mousedev does not distinguish between a tap
(on/off localized in time and space) and a quick move (on/off localized
in time only). This patch improves the tap detection by testing also
for space locality.
