Now I'm not sure if it's a regression, because it happens not every
boot. Maybe I just noticed it after 2.6.30

jiri, I found the place via extra printk messages added to the i8042.c

in function i8042_check_aux(), when touchpad detecting fail, it fall
into following error path:

 if (wait_for_completion_timeout(&i8042_aux_irq_delivered,
                                        msecs_to_jiffies(250)) == 0) { [snip] }

so maybe the timeout value need to be increased? I try redo the
i8042_setup_aux after it fails, it fixes the problem indeed, which one
is the proper fix do you think? If it's the right fix I can post the
patch.
