Does this mean you were able to test it? On which platform did you test?

As it appears this is untested and you are looking for testers, I'm going to
wait for a Tested-by from someone with hardware. Please follow-up if that fails
to happen.

If you are going to return, why bother setting extended?

I'm now confused :-)

Wait... what?

Please review the use of extended here as well as the possibility
of using it uninitialized.

If it failed to install, you don't need to remove it afterward. See
the implementation for i8042_install_filter().
