Subject: [PATCH] input: psmouse:  create an 'enabled' sysfs attribute to
 squelch mouse


From: Paul Fox <pgf@...top.org>

on OLPC XO laptops, at least one model of touchpad (sentelic)
emits continuous jittery motion reports when the laptop is
configured in "ebook" mode.  the touchpad is inaccessible in
that configuration, so we simply disable it.

these motion reports will wake the SoC when put to sleep, so simply
ignoring the events is not a possibilty; the device must be disabled.

[dilinger@...ued.net: drop psmouse_resync changes, add attribute comment,
 and add psmouse_cleanup workaround]
