To: linux-kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, pjones@...hat.com
Subject: [PATCH] Disable i8042 checks on Intel Apple Macs
As those computers never had any i8042 controllers, and the
current lookup code could potentially lock up/hang/wait for
timeout for long periods of time.
Fixes intermittent hangs on boot on a MacbookAir1,1
