Applied, thank you Eugeniy.

However for 2.6.32 I am looking for more generic solution,
could you please try the patch below (without yours applied)?

Thanks!

Input: i8042 - bypass AUX IRQ delivery test on laptops

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>

It seems that many laptops do not fully implement AUX LOOP command
in their keyboard controllers, causing issues with touchpad detection.
Hovewer we know that almost every laptop/portable uses PS/2 pointing
device and even if user disables it in favor of external mouse the
system will not use IRQ 12 for anything else. Therefore we may bypass
AUX IRQ delivery test when running on a laptop and assume that it is
routed properly.

Just to be safe we require the box to have good PNP data in order to
bypass the test.
