a309cdc778 Input: hgpk - extend jumpiness detection
In addition to forcing recalibrations upon detection of cursor jumps (and
performing them quicker than before), detect and discard errant 'jump'
packets caused by a firmware bug, which are then repeated with each one
being approximately half the delta of the one previously (as if it is
averaging out)

Based on original work by Paul Fox.

c0dc834265 Input: hgpk - rework spew detection
The old implementation of spew detection simply tracked the overall
position delta of the cursor over every 100 packets. We found that
this causes occasional false positives in spew detection, and also
that the conditions of the spewy packets are perhaps more fixed than
we once thought.

Rework the spew detection to look for packets of specific small
delta, and only recalibrating if the overall movement delta stays
within expected bounds.

Also discard duplicate packets in the advanced mode, which appear
to be very common. If we don't, the spew detection kicks in far
too early. If we get a large spew of duplicates, request a
recalibration straight up.

Based on earlier work by Paul Fox.

ca94ec4354 Input: hgpk - support GlideSensor and PenTablet modes
Add a "hgpk_mode" sysfs attribute that allows selection between 3 options:
Mouse (the existing option), GlideSensor and PenTablet.

GlideSensor is an enhanced protocol for the regular touchpad mode that
additionally reports pressure and uses absolute coordinates. We suspect
that it may be more reliable than mouse mode in some environments.

PenTablet mode puts the touchpad into resistive mode, you must then use
a stylus as an input. We suspect this is the most reliable way to drive
the touchpad.

The GlideSensor and PenTablet devices expose themselves with the
intention of being combined with the synaptics X11 input driver.

Based on earlier work by Paul Fox.

df08ef27a7 Input: psmouse - add OLPC touchpad driver
This adds support for OLPC's touchpad.  It has lots of neat features,
none of which are enabled because the hardware is too buggy.  Instead,
we use it like a normal touchpad, but with a number of workarounds in
place to deal with the frequent hardware spasms.  Humidity changes,
sweat, tinfoil underwear, plugging in AC, drinks, evil felines.. All
tend to cause the touchpad to freak out.
