Subject: [PATCH] forced recalibration for the OLPC hgpk touchpad

The OLPC XO laptop incorporates a combination touchpad/tablet
device which unfortunately requires frequent recalibration.  The
driver will force this automatically when various suspicious
behaviors are observed, and the user can recalibrate manually
(with a special keyboard sequence).  There's currently no way,
however, for an external program to cause recalibration.

This patch creates a new node in /sys which, when written with '1',
will force a touchpad recalibration.  No other writes (or reads)
of this node are supported.
